Cracking 2FA eh.. was it 2FA to an e-mail or phone? I figure if you are using 2FA with an e-mail it kind of defeats the purpose.

I thought 2FA was always to a second device separate from your computer, like a mobile phone or something. Can it mean just to email? If your computer is infected, then your email password is as compromised as your exchange passwords.

It can be done via only e-mail... so you could do it all on the same device.. making it completely pointless.

Sure, unless the site using it is vulnerable.

Bittrex has only Google Authenticator.

Today i have lost 5BTC from Bittrex Exchange and the hacker stolen all my BTC,coins using two factor authentication.admin told me he can't do anything so guys be careful about your accounts.

I have also found they are other users BTC stolen from Bittrex Exchange from the same way so remove all your BTC from Bittrex Exchange and store them in cold storage

you don't store coins on an exchange. Hope you learned your lesson.
