Hackers can not be prevented so this happens in small and large exchanges of course in any security there must be a weakness there we must realize and do not believe it fully, although Upbit exchange for it will still be vulnerable too.
Are you saying there is nothing exchanges can do to prevent hackers from having access to hack their exchange? and so users and investors have to deal with this constant hacking a possible loss of their funds? i don't want to believe there is nothing they can do, there should be a solution to protect this exchange from this kind of attack otherwise users will not feel secure to live money in exchange no matter how little it may seem, even though it is advisable not to keep money in exchange still one should be able to trade without fear.
