After reading all comments one thing is sure that only OP or some of the users account got hacked due to their email account was hacked first. so i think this is not the problem of Bittrex exchange as the users email account got hacked and hacker used that email to open their Bittrex account and stole their coins.

But for those who had 2FA enabled, how did they get the code to access the account is what puzzles me.

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.

And that's why they do not care about their accounts. Bittrex is a secure trading account and it has many features to keep our wallets secure. Similar to 2fa Google Authenticator, Email verifacations. And one of the best things here is that when you log in to another ip address Bittrex will not allow it to open. The bittrex will email you to confirm whether you are logged in. All you have to do is press confirm on your wallet.

If you are enabled 2FA, It's hard to hack via email or fake phishing site.

That's why I've enabled 2FA on my email account. But where is proof of the news?

Can you ask your friend to post User activity log from bittrex when he got hacked, would be interesting to see how the hacker got past 2FA.

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?

LOL so good I did not finish my advanced verification, so nor me nor hacker can take anything off my Bittrex account Tongue

Seems everything is good for something.

Thank you for this info and warning - however, could you please post your source?

No source because its nothing new. Everyday a lot of accounts are getting hacked through people's carelessness. It must be some kind of phishing or an email where download links are inside which are full of malwares. In this case what people should do is to activate all security features available and don't be too careless, Do double check on things.
And lol. No company is too dumb to give an insurance on this because this problem is caused by the user furthermore users will probably just abuse it to gain money if ever it comes true.

PRESALE BEGINS UP TO 45% DISCOUNT

That's unfortunate because Bittrex.com is the top crypto-currency exchange today maybe that's because they were hacked.
Because nobody can hack crypto-currency network then they're attacking users, owners and crypto-exchange, now that's devastating that top crypto-currency exchange sites were attacked not only Bittrex.com, since earlier this year, some top crypto-currency exchange sites also were exploited and users were upset about it.

Seems more likely that the emails got compromised, or maybe these victims downloaded some shitcoins closed-source wallet with backdoor/trojan that allowed the attacker compromise their PC.
I don't see how the hacker could have bypassed the 2FA otherwise.

i read about two days ago. Yes, Lot of peoples were hacked today, hacker attacked their mails so i transfered my coins and usdt from bittrex to poloniex. Now i keep safe on my money on poloniex

maybe web phising. Its better to actived F2A and SmS verification in your account
I use bittrex and do not have a problem.

I don't see SmS verification only F2A. Do you think SMS is good protection? I read somewhere, it's easy to hack and not recommended for use.

I also use Bittrex. And I'm very sad to hear about such problems.

I believe that was because someone gains possession of thejr pc/laptop. either trojan from wallet download, email link scam, social engineering etc.
Recently daytradernick (twitter) got hacked from downloading wallet that has trojan. So secure yourself bookmarked, use different PC from trying wallet and other stuff

Your money is never "safe" on an exchange. Not even on an exchange the size of poloniex.

There is nothing from Bittrex because Bittrex probably was not hacked... hacked were email accounts and attackers probably ask for forgot password from bittrex or so. But these mails were probably imediadly deleted because he havent any mails from bittrex in mailbox.
But attackers must knew these mails are connected with bittrex, maybe leaked all emails from bittrex?!?!?
