We would have heard for sure if this was a massve hacking issue, there could be many factors leading to your friends issue, often there will be phishing emails sent to try and trick users into clicking and entering thie login details.

What did Bittrex have to say on this matter? did your friend contact their support?

They didnt replied else, he had 2fa enebled. But now he think is bad he had saved code in mail. :-/

Look on this wallet which I sent there are two transactions, probably both from hacking.

Source I wrote above.... it looks like this.

So you do mean there are unusual log-in attempts on some accounts which is possibly being compromised but telling to public about the thing of many account were hacked then its not appropriate because you cant post a proof that there are lots already and bittrex would make an announcement if theres a breach or security flaws. Theres might some instances but would really be few in numbers this is why we should always set 2fa or secondary layer of security on our accounts specially if theres a fund inside it or coins being stored up.

Address: 1MQV6Azrte8zMrwGxSZh6qsaoxsFLgsWqr
TxId: 53006f983541ac87a356d153a450abb8c7a0723277a0697fdd4b8ec0cca5e479

But that's his email activity log, is it possible for him to upload activity log from Bittrex when he got hacked?

Without proofs this thread is just FUD spreading, no more. There is nothing about it at twitter. I suppose that so huge hack should be mentioned at many news channels and sites if it's true.

I also flipped through the twitter first. No complaints. I think it would already be a lot of noise from news and disgruntled people. This exchange has a great deal of trust from traders.

Usually it begins when you get web phising, it's better if you get email, don't click what inside it, retyping is better because now many phising accounts, you must be more careful to see it, dont be fooled.

My friend was hacked too,f2a enabled ang ip is whitelisted how the heck happened ? he lost 27 BTC.Just beware about the emails you receive.

Oh gosh, that is terrible!! Do you know if in such cases people are re compensated? Was he sent an email that appeared to have come from Bittrex with a link in it which he clicked? It's scary to think they got past the 2FA, OMG!! I am sorry for all the questions, I just need clarification so I can be as safe as necessary.

Need to look into their T&C for compensation terms.

Hi guys,

What doing in situation when bittrex account was hacked via email? Lot of peoples were hacked today, hacker attacked their mails first and then bittrex. F2A was enebled as well. In these cases there was not phishing webpage. Have Bittrex insurance for these cases or not?

Is this true or not? Its not good to spread a false humor like this. It is very alarming to those who have account on Bittrex and they might withdraw immediately their coins out from it just because of this news. I hope that this news is really fake and please stop spreading it because it is not helpful.

To be honest I don't trust these centralised exchanges at all. I am one of the lucky ones to managed not to be hacked but been very close twice to loose my funds though. I'm talking about Mt.Gox or BTC-E. I was listening to my elders and took my funds only for a quick trading to an exchange then withdrew them to my cold wallets afterwards. I'm sorry for all of you who's got hacked and lost your hard earned money. I can't wait to see Exscudo' s upcoming exchange to solve these security and centralised issues.

We all have to be very careful, use antimalware and antivirus software, set up 2FA to every exchange and mail service, use strong and not the same passwords for any site, do not visit porn and torrent sites, avoid phishing links. It all is pretty simple to do, but still there are so many hacked accounts. It's a CRYPTO market and everybody should be prepared.

I am sorry, but how can Bittrex account that is 2FA enabled get hacked?
I mean if you don't get keylog, it should be fine because even so it takes 2 code to Login + Withdraw?

Anyhow, gotta becareful with all the crypto accounts, never put same password and reveal your mail there

I trade through Bittrex. While there was no problem. But, I heard from acquaintances that recently wallets were hacked on Blockchain.info.

Oh, another bad issue on bittrex. First off the holdings of accounts and next is this one? This is a bad angle for bittrex right now. For as we all know, bittrex is one of the trusted and most reliable exchangers.

Bittrex is still reliable, your only problem is the hackers. So becareful everyone. Get lines of defense for your own wallet.

This sounds bad for Bittrex but do you have any proof like a link you read the news about Bittrex accounts being hacked or a screenshot perhaps? I believe those that were hacked (if ever there are) probably opened a fake email and got their information because most likely thats what happens.

Where you have money you need to enable 2FA and the security is much much better.

I have not heard any of these news about hacking accounts in bittrex ; Maybe it is an attempt to discredit site Huh

Yes bittrex blocked some accounts but i think users need verification , This is happening with most exchange
sites recently

Please do not scare investors and traders !!
