Title: I've just been hacked on Bittrex
Post by: Neild on June 28, 2017, 12:38:56 AM
Hi,

I've literally just been hacked 2 hours ago on bittrex and my whole account has been wiped.

Can anyone suggest anything I can do?

Thanks
Neil

I believe the first thing you need to do is contact the support with your account data and report the problem.
The address to contact the support is :

Email the support and tell what happened. Also before they can withdraw, there is a confirmation email sent to you for  your approval. It means your email is also compromised?

I suppose you failed to set up 2FA? If this is the case, I can only ask WHY?

Really sorry for your loss but I do not think you can do anything about your coins. The nature of crypto is to have irreversible transactions. I suggest you clean you machine, reinstall Windows and everything else and start over.

It happened to not so long ago, and another dude here too the same days, can't remember the name of the topic he opened. I don't use the same password twice and I don't use weak passwords so I am a little septik with their system. I didn't have coins stored there so I didn't lost anything. Contacting them they will just offer you to lock your account the time you change your password ect. But you got stolen it's a bit late. They should set a system o whitelist IP, so for exemple only our IP can access the account.

I got hacked too, both on bittrex first and yesterday on poloniex....luckily i had no coins in there....i used those websites mainly for monitoring crypto prices. i had no 2FA so i guess if i held coins i would definitely have to enable it. i wonder if with 2FA is safe?
