dont use google, nor bookmarks, always type all letters on your own

Why no bookmarks? Sounds a lot safer to me than googling for bittrex every time?

Bookmarks is the safest solution to prevent you login in phising site. First you need to type and make sure if the domain is the real bittrex, and bookmark it.

Im sorry for your losses!

I have activated 2fa since the beginning but I have an important question:

Since one month I had the coming "problem ca. 5 times:

After typing my code there came sometime an error note like: code is wrong, please check your timezone (time is correct and Im typing the code correctly and fast). The first times I was scared to type a second code after this error note, because i knew about this phishing things..

Does someone know something about this problem??

My account in Bittrex was hacked and I did not have 2fa activated, 2 BTC stolen. So I warned all my friends to activate it 2fa. I doubted their usefulness, they stole everything in 3 seconds.

A month later it is confirmed what I say. To my friend they have hacked the account having activated the 2fa.

The 2FA is not worth anything at all. The thefts in Bitrrex are consented by the company. The thefts are produced by Bitrtrex employees and former employees.

In Spain a group is being created to denounce this company.

And before you ask, no I did not have 2fa set up (lesson learned).

Have any others been hacked?

Sorry to hear that, I will use 2FA to protect my balance. Thank you.

That is really terrible. But if many users were hacked, then maybe bittrex was hacked and there would be a chance to get charged back by Bittrex, as they already did.

Regarding 2fa, what happens if you loose your phone? Is it tied to the google account you use for your phone or the actual phone itself?

Also, is there such a thing as a browser add on that monitors for urls containing 'bittrex', and automatically redirects to the real bittrex? If not, could you do this in the windows host file?

So, basically they hacked your account via your phone? Did you use your home wifi or you were somewhere in public place? I never use mobile for trading...

No, it was a brute force attack. The same thing happens to me and to a lot of people without 2fa.
The same strange trading activity sell\buy many times to the bottom of my balance.

I have been hacked today with 3 btc. Some strange buying and selling has happened has happened. In todays value i have lost 10000 usd. To be honest, i cant sleep now. That is all the money I had.

This happened on bittrex and the worst part is as per bittrex my account was logged in today with just my mobile and nothing else. I use andriod. I get an email notification everytime i login to my bittrex account. I logged in today just once. Immediately after that my account started unsual buying and selling. No withdrawal happened. I realized this late in the night when all money was lost. Wondering how bittex system allows such hacking. Please suggest what I can do.

P.S i did not f2a. The first thing i will do is f2a all my accounts.

Seriously is this happening? I am beginning to get paranoid also about those hacking news, a lot have been hacked either Bittrex or the Poloniex site and I am beginning to get scared of this hacking.

Cryptos are still a little dangerous to play with and even more If you put a lot of money in it.
That´s why you should never have a big amount of valuable coins on a exchange.

Best way to save your coins are hardware and paper wallets.

Yes, we have to secure ourselves from the thieves because there are many people who will keep on sending emails to steal our coins or money. But we have to be very careful while clicking those links. We have to check twice before clicking those links.

There are numerous phishing sites that currently show up as advertisements if you use a google search to find our site.

The recommended solution is to make sure you always type https://www.bittrex.com into your browser so that you can be certain you are on our site. You can also check the certificate to make sure it's issued to us.

Please make sure you also have two-factor enabled on your account. These phishing sites are advanced and get the user to enter their 2FA code twice so that it can be used for login and withdrawals.

Visiting https://www.bittrex.com directly is the best route always to get to our site.

Thanks

The Future of Security Tokens

If you have weird activity warning, I would change my mail password, bittrex password (afterwards) and run a few anti virus/fishing programs.

Might seem a bit extreme, but I had a case where my mail got hacked and with that they were able to get all my other informations.
Now im super paranoid Cheesy

I scan my pc once a week and look for everything suspicious.
