The truth is that, there will even be further hacks, either today or tomorrow, nobody knows.
This is why it is advisable for everyone to keep their assets (especially i large $) on paper or trezor ledger wallets.
The centralized exchange or decentralized exchanges are not the best place to store your digital assets.

I don't think we need another thread about hacked exchange listing, because there are more than enough thread already available in this forum. If you search, you will find them. Though Altsbit exchange hacked new information for me, I had no idea about that and this is the first time I am hearing about this exchange! All those hackers are a curse for the world, I wish COVID-19 takes them!
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.
If we store money in exchanges then we should be prepared for a mentality, because the entire exchange in this market can be hacked at any time. Even the best exchange like Binance is still hacked in 2019. It is best to store all altcoins and bitcoin in a cold wallet.
Totally agree cold wallets are best place to store!

Damn, thanks for the information, I'm not even aware that shapeshift get hacked before, the best way to avoid this is never trust any exchange no matter how secured they are, hackers are always advancing, do not leave funds or coins on any exchanges
Yes still the best way is to use cold wallets. Stay way out from online.

There is always risk, however most of them using bypases or work in a legal gray area and this exposes users to great risks. By obtaining all the necessary licenses and adapting the infrastructure to the requirements of the regulators, exchanges will ensure both business security and reliable access to different forms of pay-in and pay-out on the platforms. Great market for that is Thaland since they are one of the few countries which have adopted all the necessary crypto regulations in 2019, including issuing security tokens, both for trading with STO and for issuing the STO, Digital Asset Business License, License for Cryptocurrency Broker, License for Cryptocurrency Dealer, and Cryptocurrency Exchange license by the Thai Ministry of Finance. working with relevant authorities including the Bank of Thailand, and the Securities and Exchange Commission, will uphold the law and maintain maximum quality of service for crypto users. Hope other countries will also follow up with regulating crypto market.

Some people hold their crypto assets on exchanges, it is very dangerous, previously many exchanges have been hacked.
I advise You should keep your crypto assets in your personal wallet because the exchange is not safe.
