not your keys, not your coins!

FTX might be added (not sure that any hack is confirmed yet).

The Wall Street Journal at least wrote something about investigating after hackers.. Roll Eyes

On the other hand, it can be an easy way to pocket some funds. Who knows.
Only way to prevent this happening is to stop using centralized exchanges altogether..

Once again, I would advise that you guys do not keep your assets in the exchange wallet, it is not safe in any way.

I have been a victim from this hacked cases and yesterday i can get my assets through converting it into the ORN and then withdraw em all from the kucoin.

It looks like this will need a very long time process as the total hacked that happened with kucoin was 3 times more than binance.
Kucoin was also making all of coins on its exchange sites to do that swap process for the hacked tokens.

It's really metter of sorrow for them who lost their assests. Although hacking isn't a new incedent in Crypto industry and its known to all that, fund isn't safe in exchanges wallets but it's not possible to trade without putting money on exchange. but it's really disappointing when its top exchanges are being hacked. Hope security system would be update soon to prevent this kind of incedents

Well I store crypto on a hot wallet linked to a debit card - Blackcatcard. What’s a euro card only with a hot crypto wallet linked to it. As I’m super concerned about safety of my money, I was looking for smth I can sure about. This card is of European financial institution so it seems quite trustworthy to me. I know that it is widely said not to trust hot wallets, because they can be hacked easily. But here it is linked to a bank debit card with a lot of degrees of protection.
As for conditions they offer good exchange rates, all transactions via a mobile app. I don't use this card to often to withdraw money or make transfers, online to pay online, for this reason can't say anything about the fees but it has a nice bonus program If your monthly balance more than 300 euros and card turnover at least 200 euros, the interest on the balance is 2, 2 percent + 0,1 percent cashback on purchases.

Yes, many hold their coins unwanted for more profit, so it gets caught in the eyes of hackers, which has a lot of potential for hacking coins. So the coin market should always be running.

Thank you for creating a hacked exchange list. at least this is a warning for us to be more careful in choosing an exchange in conducting transactions or investing. therefore to invest coins in an exchange, then choose an exchange that has not been hacked and then withdraw all crypto assets from the exchange and keep it in your personal wallet.

if you really want to hold the assets that you have then choose an exchange that already has a big name like binance because even though hackers managed to steal but your assets will be replaced by the exchange

Lots of money have been really lost due to the hacks and I'm sure these hacks are perpetrated by the same group of people, one group might have hacked one or two exchanges. The hack dawned on me when almighty Binance was hacked too because I was believing the hack only affects the less exchanges, but then exchanges always advise their customers to set up two factor Authenticator against theft from their wallets, how they manage to go down when attacked is still confusing.
It's just best to save funds in non exchange wallets because these hackers don't announce their operations.

Even famous platforms get hack, it is never advisable to store your money online even if it is a well-known platform, hackers will surely find ways to infiltrate platforms. Imagine million dollars have been stolen from different platforms since crypto had started and the majority is from small platforms which is an easy target for hackers.

For this reason I'm afraid to use new cryptocurrency exchange. Here almost all exchange has name but few exchange has name twice. You will find out your fault when your exchange hacked. New exchange has idea about it, this is the reason investor can't trust new exchange. For trading new exchange is also bad.

hacking is not only in new markets but big markets there are also some large markets also lose money including binance, therefore we must always be careful and do not store assets in the market because it is very risky better save to personal wallet

Everyear there is millions of dollars was lose because of the hacker and it is possible that market will crush because what if the hacker sell the coins they get.

Every exchange sites need to be aware on how their system will become safe to the hackers because many traders also losing theie funds because of this . The team of exchange is responsible for that becuase if they system is not strong to keep safe their traders Im sure people will leave not trade there.

It means that there is no secure system and website because even the more secure like binance was experienced hacking and many exchanges site too. So once your money is in the crypto exchange make sure that is safe because anything will possible to happen like losing of your money.

Right, that is the risk. Make sure we choose an exchange that is truly responsible and guarantees consumer protection. Some of the top global exchanges that have been hacked are committed to compensating for the case. The lesson for all of us is not to carelessly store assets in the wallet exchange, especially if there is any doubt.

And we would like to see adoption, but we don´t have infrastructe for it, exchanges are being hacked on they are scamming their users so easily, just like BCNEX for example. We need to build strong and safe infrastructure that would attract more people into this dangerous sector. Wink

what adoption ? i thought we are only talking about exchabge hacks here . also being hacked are different from being scammed but i believe there are scam exchange that will lie and say that they have been scammed .

the infrastracture that your saying is like a tool right ? indeed we need that so that we can spread awareness and warn others if we saw a shady activity going on on an exchange
