Damn,thanks a lot for this information. ;) I didn't understand what the problem was.

yeah, I get information about etherdelta being hacked, from one of the other threads. He said that etherdelta was hit by hack through DNS. should be more careful again

there have been many frauds, last week they created a fake app of myetherwallet in the iOS App Store and the most crazy thing is that it was placed in the third place of the most downloaded in the Finance category of the App Store. So guys, be careful with every operation that takes place.

so we have to catch up with these frauds and inform each other

i lost all my ethereum in my etherdelta account i dont know what to do now >:( this will affect very badly on crypto world

Thanks for the info. Hackers and DDoS are continually becoming a serious threat to the cryptoworld and we all have to be very careful in protecting our funds. Over the week, several exchanges were being attacked by DDoS leading to suspension of trading activities for hours in those exchanges.

Thanks for this great information, it was very helpful. It will really serve as a protective measure for all persons using Etherdelta.

If you haven't visited the site today can your tokens on EtherDelta still be stolen?

Thanks for the heads up posting this!


I think as long as your haven't logged into the site since the hack your ok but I'm not certain.

I doubt this is the case.. I think the only one who will lose some coins/tokens are the one who entered their private address on etherdelta in the 30min-1hour window where the hacker was phishing.. The thing is it was saying we got logged out, so some people tried to import their account back and wrote their private keys.. I also have hundreds of tokens in my etherdelta but I believe in the end there won't be that much that will be stolen.. but it still sucks if you are the one who have been..

I think so too, the Tweets says the DNS was compromised, which means the url sends you to a different server.

This is a big news and great help as well, thank for share the information.
Fortunately, I haven't get into this decentralized exchanges, as there are some flaws recently.
But, I believe you can post this in Service discussion (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?board=85.0) or Exchanges (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?board=223.0) as well to let more people knows about this problem.

Whoever hacked this site is going to continue to drain accounts when they log into etherdelta.  Thank God I have found out it was hacked before I have visited the site. I feel sorry for the many people who were not fortunate to get the heads up on the site being hacked.  I think the word needs to go out more so that people could avoid that site until the problem has been solved.

Stay away from Ether Delta though. There is something funny about those dudes in charge anyway. I seen them list coins on their exchange that are clear scams meant to confuse and manipulate people. A respectable exchange wouldn't list those coins.

I don't think the maintainers should be gatekeepers on a decentralized exchange. Because then you turn it into a centralized exchange. Maybe not technically, but in terms of power.

I did visit etherdelta today and it did log me in automatically as it usually does, but I didn't trade anything.

Just in case I used the same method as the OP to withdraw my main investment just in case and then used MEW for transfer to a safer wallet.

Heard of this already, DNS server attacks are super powerful, kudos to Etherdelta who acted quickly to let the people know what happened.

It's interesting, is it connected with the fact that the entrance and display of rates on the stock exchange has been difficult for the last few days?

There are recently news that etherdelta has been hacked and i saw there tweet earlier this morning. And there are many users that there deposits have been loss due to this hacking in etherdelta.  Whoever done that will be rich lol , there are many etherium that are being loss of most users in that exchange.

Sure, but maybe it could have been prevented in the first place? Have there been more details about the attack yet?

Did etherdelta give any information as far as time it would take to fix and restore their site?

Here is a summary of all the major discussions:

https://steemit.com/ethereum/@money-dreamer/etherdelta-hacked

The only thing they did was to make a tweet 2 hours after 250+ ethereum was already stolen. They could've disabled their website because even after they made the tweet, hackers are still transferring eth.

Those that bought coins on Etherdelta and moved them to a Ledger Nano S via MyEtherWallet... are they safe???

As long as you didn't use the site while it was compromised earlier today, I believe.

Oh thanks for the information. Luckily I've been busy with work and didn't get a chance to check my orders at etherdelta for past couple of days. When I tried to access the site just a little while ago, the site wasn't reachable. I am glad they disabled the access. Now I am wondering what will happen with my ether and tokens.

Disabling their website would've done nothing. The Domain Name Server was attacked, it translates the etherdelta.com address into an IP address of a different server. You could say they should've fix the DNS, but any changes to DNS take time. And yes, maybe they only found out 2 hours late.

Thanks for the heads up mate I think for our safety just stay away with this exchange and wait for the statement that ED will provide regarding to this concerned as we still have some doubts with their security and its better to stay safe than sorry in terms of our investment.

Another Tutorial on how to get the tokens out of EtherDelta: https://steemit.com/etherdelta/@davidaarong/how-to-manually-transfer-tokens-off-of-etherdelta (https://steemit.com/etherdelta/@davidaarong/how-to-manually-transfer-tokens-off-of-etherdelta)

I guess its time to say goodbye to etherdelta because this literally killed their service .. its a worst exchange anyways and a meaning that its not really decentralized

On the first place companies holding tons of money should invest at a higher rate than cybercriminals. Hope this works as a warning for other wallet services

wow..
i hope that there wasn't too big damage
i love etherdelta, i was sure that it safe
lucky me didnt use it for the last few weeks

Yeah, I knew it this morning. I hope my money are safe there....

Yes actually it would've done something.

Another thing they could've done was contact the host of the scam website so they could take it down, but ED didn't do that. Even the operators were surprised that ED didn't contact them, it was the users who did.

Here is a useful post on the subject stickied to the top of /r/ethtrader. It includes info on how to get your coins out of ED without having to go to the compromised website:

https://www.reddit.com/r/ethtrader/comments/7l5yi7/warning_etherdelta_dns_system_has_been/

I understand that Radar Relay is a nice alternative to Etherdelta?

I read the news too and I am worried about my fund on that site. I hope the team of etherdelta can solve this problem so we don't have to worry again. if there is a way to move our tokens from etherdelta, then I think we should move for temporary to stay away or avoid the attacker to penetrate into our account.

Firefox specifically warned that I should not go ahead with etherdelta link  I usually type and I was worried, So I decided not to log in. I think if people are observant they may actually be safe from this kind of attack!  Let spread the word about this hack please!

I don't have money there. But I am still very upset. Because I have money on other sites.
I think hackers may be one of the big issues of cryptocurrencies.
Always keep your money safe! Wish whoever see this post were not affected by this.

How is this even possible?  I thought the whole point of decentralized exchanges was that something like this couldn't happen.

Is this real? I tried entering etherdelta a while ago and since my browser have some sort of security and antivirus protection it warned me ahead of time that the site I wanted to access is unsecured etc so I did not continue.

To check your current holdings on ED use https://deltabalances.github.io

very surprisingly if etherdelta hit by hackers, I feel confident with exchane etherdelta to be used as the safest exchange but now I feel worried about my funds are still there. hopefully can be fixed.

It also looks like crap compared to other exchanges.  The site is slow and an utter hog to try and do anything on.  It's way too cluttered.  I have some EthD on there and will leave them there for the time being.

Ok we know the hackers address. Is thier any way my ether wallet can block the hackers MEW account?

I used Etherdelta to sell all of these beautiful airdrops last three months. So, it is time to say - "So Long, and Thanks for All the Fish"
I wish good luck to devs!

Damn nothing is safe. How much security can you provide after all. So much efforts and resources are just going into securing things, which could have been used to develop and evolve the systems.......

You can actually see in the comments that so many people lost their funds to this address, but thanks to decentralization, nothing can be done.
https://etherscan.io/address/0x3f8a37bde9b15b65c82f9cdd00192e0ba36cc5fc#comments

You can see your funds in that wallet, but you can't do anything!!! Not even the ETH devs and team can. So much for the decentralization. Guess ultimately the law of average wins. No system is perfect, neither centralization nor decentralization.  :-[

The amount of stolen funds is not so much to influence on the price of ETH or any tokens, but the fact of the DEX hack shows its vulnerability. Thanks God that I didn't make any tx after the hack.

Guys any updates on this? is it safe to remove our funds from there? Can someone please help? Thanks in advance

I have a little ETh in etherdelta is it safe or missing? And I open etherdelta site can not?

So are you trying to say that all of the people that got hacked are IOS user? I am checking my account in etherdelta wallet address every hour on etherscan and its doing fine so far.

Does this hack affect users who trade on ED using their Ledger wallet? Does that mean that all the Ledger private keys are now compromised?

Ledger wallet users are safe

It’s so bad. Obviously it doesn’t mean that all ledger private keys are compromised but still when something like this happened all of us feel unsecured. I think it’s best to wait until they announce that everything is safe..

This stock market was always insecure. Everything is gone without money.
I hope you can get your money back. this exchange closes soon...

As long as you didnt make any transactions and lost money your ok.

I read an article a few hours ago explaining a few things that happened. Feel free to read too.

https://techcrunch.com/2017/12/20/etherdelta-suspends-service/

About 8 hours ago I logged into my account on etherdelta. I then withdrew all of my token to another exchange site. My fund came to another exchange site, so my token are safe? Thanks

again one more major attack in ethereum network . Etherdelta was down for few days while using github now again they compromised with DNS. I am loosing faith on etherdelta looking for some alternative decentralised exchanges.

I am losing faith on everything. Because i lost all my ethereum and 98% of all my funds

Very important lessons for all of us
Do not leave all your funds/coins in one place, such as etherdelta or other exchanges
always activate 2fa if possible
be extra careful of phishing site
Have multiple offline/hardware wallets

Trade safely!

This method work really well: https://www.reddit.com/r/ethtrader/comments/7l5yi7/warning_etherdelta_dns_system_has_been/

Just saved many of my best tokens... don't forget to check the gas price here: https://ethgasstation.info/

Take care about youtube video on twitter, N° of contracts are not all good.

I think the Eth developers have long recognized the need for better security, not so much on the network itself, but the smart contracts. Hence the ETH upgrades. Apparently, the language is "easy" to learn and therefore a lot of programmers who don't know coding so well leave a lot of vulnerabilities. This is the downside of having dapps enabled where everyone is free to code. Decentralized exchanges are still the way to go, it's really sad that all these new start ups are facing hacking problems but that's the reality of decentralized apps.

Remember guys, store your ETH as much as possible on your own wallets.

exectly, i was searching that what is happening to etherdelta  dammmmm its realy heavy loss and the huge amount have been tranfered and people are facing the loss

I think we should patient and wait for official news, dont try to access or withdraw anything because we might get loss ours money forever.

A lot of ethereum based exchanges are being hacked nowadays,i wont be suprised if the eth's whole network will be hacked by notorious hackers in the future this is the downside of ethereum a lot of vulnerabilities.

oh my goodness :o thanks for your info. I have plans to buy some tokens on etherdelta and thanks god I found this thread first.
I think is safer for wait official news from etherdelta.

My friend also got hacked, he used etherdelta this morning 05.00 WIB.
He told me, he already entered the correct domain.
But it looks like he was directed to a phishing site that has exactly the same look as etherdelta.

It was hacked and people lost money, thats a shame.
Im not sure how people will feel about EtherDelta now, maybe loss of trust.  I hope that the developers can fix this problem so it doesnt happen again.

many people lost Lots of money when ether delta haked  :'(

Apparently their its their Dns which was attacked. But still no other official announcement. The site is down now. Hope it is resolved soon.

I got a information on twitter that etherdelta has been hacked. Etheruem support get a fast solution so that many user cant lost lot of token to be traded.

what a loss i think the site was very important yesterday before the hack i could not make some transaction it was impossible to do that i hope my wallet is not hacked.

I heard etherdelta  is hit by hacker through DNS.I think it's safer to wait for official announcement  from etherdelta.

It sucks! Many of us have our token there
It is such an unfortunate event happening too such big exchange like ED, and more strange thing is this happen not long after new CEO was approved, something fishy here ::)
Lets hope it will recover soon, and please ED be more active about it, you've been in silence since you last hack announcement >:(

The way etherdelta looks i would never hold coins there. Didnt even think to buy anything there. But i guess you can get some cheap coins of legit projects in the early stages when they are not yet on any major exchange, so that is a plus.

I am trying to follow how to withdraw tokens from etherdelta to my MEW by using this tutorial and I am stuck, the coins simply withdraw from etherdelta to etherdelta....nothing transfers to my MEW.  Did anybody successfully transfer coins to their wallet?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?time_continue=70&v=slru097RrfM

Do not use this video... Contracts Tokens are false !!

Usethis one, it work perfectly: https://www.reddit.com/r/ethtrader/comments/7l5yi7/warning_etherdelta_dns_system_has_been/

https://i.imgur.com/hXds9Ut.jpg

No. I also saw the video - it does not work that way. I'm still looking for a better guide in words or on video.
I have not seen there any MEW address. only the Etherdelta addresses

But is it only for withdraw ETH??  I want to withdraw other tokens, there is no option?

It's for ETH and for Tokens... read carrefully and check everything 2 or 3 times. Take your time

I read and tried couple of times to transfer from etherdelta to MEW, but there is no option to enter MEW address, I don't think its possible to transfer from etherdelta with this method. Tokens withdraw back to etherdelta.

Yes. I did not find it either. We pay gas and send the tokens from ED to ED   ;D  ;D

You need to withdraw from Etherdelta to your MeW wallet which connected to Eterdelta first...after,you send to a fresh new MEW

Its such a shame because many ERC-20 users were part of EtherDelta, and the fact that some of them lost their money is sad to hear.
EtherDelta should up there security measures now after this.

I have never been connected to etherdelta. this always ran separately as a separate account. think so for most people

good info and update, thanks for this..this will surely go a long way to helping people maintain dia token in ED

I think everybody is trying to withdraw their money from EtherDelta right now, but for now it is not logical to try to withdraw ETH or altcoins from a exchange market site under attack. While you are trying it, you can be stolen Mew addresses by hackers. While you try to save your money, you will lose on the remaining of your ETHs.

Me too, I had no idea I could connect ED to MEW wallet, it was just separate account :(
IT really sucks so bad, today my coins are pumping and i can't do anything....

I almost lost my balance in etherdelta but I see this info, thanks. this info is very helpful

Just don`t use EtherDelta now, because your private key never have been on ED servers, you cannot lose your keys, if you keep in safe place! Wait!

Another hacker on the lose. Hopefully, something gets to be done about this. I almost logged in on the site just now when I saw the flash news on twitter, then I came here to find more details. Crazy internet, mad world. I saw the hackers account and how much he has raked in already. I got a hint that the DNS was hacked and they were able to redirect the website.

Yes, agreed. If we want true decentralisation and all the associated benefits then we have to accept exposure to shitcoins and hope the market treats them accordingly. Although that will depend on investor education and having trusted institutions to call out scam coins when they see them (Ethereum Blue does exactly that so please feel free to check them out)

This thread is very useful to all of us were using etherdelta, i have also funds there, and when i played the video tutorial, i withdraw it safely. Thumbs up to this. Thanks mate

I have been monitoring it since this morning and saw that it the address keep on getting more coins from the valuable ones.

PPT, Aion, DRGN, PLR and a lot more. I think there is a command that the hack will just get those tokens that have a larger value than anything. This is really ridiculous. After a change of CEO and they even congratulate him. Now this, seems a bit fishy. Who is the former CEO? Could he be the culprit?

Thanks buddy. You save the accounts of many over here. Such a great help. Hopefully the problem will be fix as early as possible.

I will try this, thanks!

I never thought it could happen. I think etherdelta has good security so it can not be hacked. some users who keep altcoins there experience a loss of coin. I hope etherdelta be fine.

Etherdelta can be hacked and nothing can stop hackers beating Etherdelta's security and even the top commercial Cryptocurrency Exchanges like Bittrex.com was recently hacked and caused their customers to shrink their owned values in order to recover from the hacking event.
But that doesn't mean Etherdelta is purely vulnerable, I think the team of developers are working on it to put back the people's trust on the only decentralized cryptocurrency exchange in the world.

Wait a minute, are people really not getting this news already? Last time I checked that account was filled with a worth of $1000 plus ERC20 tokens and now it is over $6000 and those are just stolen tokens, let alone ETH. This is getting crazy and I hope something is done urgently.

I used this video.
I did not have any problems. Check what needs to be done again, it was a good video.

Etherdelta would be fine, although it was recently compromised but nothing they took from the users because Etherdelta never took or owned a single information or even any kind of keys from the users. The compromise is only affecting the transaction but I think no coins were lost in the event.

sad to hear there is a hacker that make the trading site become dangerous. this should not happening  and there should be away to catch the hacker one way or another. or trading and cryptocurrency would not be ever save for sure. we are trying to investing here and we dont want to got robbed by hacker.

Etherdelta will be fine and maybe they're already up and secured today, who knows!
Developers won't let that happen because Cryptocurrencies are totally secure and safe and so as cryptocurrency exchange like Etherdelta.

I don't think it's been 24 hours yet so there must be a lot of people who aren't active on Twitter or maybe they're just hodling and don't feel like checking into EtherDelta every day.

Also, the timing of the hack means that loads of people will be travelling to be with family for Christmas so they might not be aware even for another few days yet.

Probably best to wait for official confirmation before logging in though. It will be interesting to see how they manage their reputation after this because people will want to know how this happened.

This could also be a great opportunity for up and coming decentralised exchanges such as IDEX.

Just saw this today, and I think it's quite sad that this is not getting more exposure on social media, since it could help user from etherdelta to lose their funds. I really need to start using twitter more often, as it seems the news there get spread faster. I normally stick to youtube and site like coinbase.
I haven't been using etherdelta recently, because I don't have any tokens to sell, but I usually use them for that. I guess I will just stay with bittrex for now.

I was always scared of etherdelta. Not because of being hacked but i was scaredd to make a mistake because it is very complicated to use comparing with popular centralized exchanges. It is so bad people lost their money there.

I only use it for 2 weeks and here such an event. I thought that they could hack anything but not her. I was lucky that I read chats and news before I came in and was able to withdraw all the coins without getting to the site, I spent half a day on it. Lost coins are those who did not follow the news, now I will always read the Twitter exchange when I go to her

This is not good for Ethereum's community im sure a lot of people lose their money in an instant i hope other exchanges wont be hacked too.

There's a tutorial how you can withdraw your tokens/ethereum in etherdelta without accessing their website. Do not access their website because you will be redirected to the hackers fake etherdelta.  That's the way that you will be hack. For now the only option you got is to withdraw your ethereum/tokens without accessing their website.

Although I do not use it, it is terrible news, unfortunately it is part of the game, I hope they can solve without great traumas.

Thanks for your info, although I never trade in EtherDelta. However, it is terrible news for us, 1 exchange got hacked, many impact will follow it happen. I hope those exchange I trading don't have this situation  >:( >:( >:(

Better stay away from etherdelta this day until further notice or the issue has been resolve! I also visit ED this morning because I didn't know the news earlier I hope they don't hack my account also. ;)

You have to withdraw them FIRST from EtherDelta to the EtherDelta wallet (that you used to deposit to the EtherDelta in the first place), then after you move from EtherDelta to the EtherDelta Wallet (using that guide), then you can enter in MEW using the private key of the EtherDelta Wallet, and move your tokens to a safe wallet in MEW or any other wallet that you never used the private key in ED.

For example:

Lets suppose you created a EtherDelta Wallet there in ED.

Originally you transfered your tokens from your MEW account to the ED Wallet (that you created there in ED).

Then in ED you deposited your tokens from the ED Wallet to the ED itself.

To recover them, you have to do the reverse, using this guide: https://steemit.com/etherdelta/@davidaarong/how-to-manually-transfer-tokens-off-of-etherdelta (https://steemit.com/etherdelta/@davidaarong/how-to-manually-transfer-tokens-off-of-etherdelta)

Using the guide, your take the tokens out of the ED itself to the ED wallet that you used in the first place, because the smart contract is between the ED itself and the ED wallet.

After you recover the tokens from the ED itself to the ED wallet using the guide, then you can safely use MyEtherWallet website, and in the "introduce private key" option, you introduce there the private key of the ED Wallet, and your tokens should be there now.

Now, transfer your tokens from the ED Wallet to a safe MEW wallet that nobody knows the private key of except you.

Thats it.

Did you understand?

Are they still hacked or recovered? Can I login to my etherdelta account now or not?

Dont login on ED yet. Follow the steps I explained on the post above yours.

That is a great tutorial. Really helpful.

Etherdelta its decentralized exchange he cant be hacked.
Hackers hack your account not exchange itself

Guys hello. Issues on the Etherdelta exchange are still present or I can already go and trade?

yeah right, my friends who traded on Etherdelta were all hacked, Ethereum coins earned from trading profits all vanished and I'm also sorry about this

Yeah, i know that's issue several hours ago, when i cant access etherdelta's website. So, when i was opened etherdelta official twitter, yeah that's website hacked. But, i'm lucky, yesterday i withdraw all of my balance to exchanger.

NO, just use the above mentioned guide by goldenorder.

how did they make such action over apps downloading site and make it to top 3 most downloaded?damn this hacker is really good.i hope this information will scattered all over the community to served as warning to all of us whos etherdelta user.take care guys..always

Yesterday, I tried to use Etherdelta in transferring my BONs. However, I was thinking twice because it's complicated for me to use Etherdelta. I used Cryptopia instead and I got my BONs.

Phew! Good thing I was lucky enough to get out of there. I just removed my MEW there and clean history. Exchangers like this should definitely invest their money to secure all of us from intruders and hackers.

When i first heard about this im in panic ,because i have many ETH and altcoins balance there i open my account imidiately after waking up this morning. i widraw all my funds and move it to new created wallet I was happy and lucky nothing lost in my balance when i open it.

what if we have not logout from ED, what is our MEW wallet also at risk of being hacked? a few days before ED news was hacked I made a deposit and have not logout from ED account, will the hacker know our private key?
I heard that many accounts have been hacked and their balance stolen, whether the stolen from ED or from MEW? I worry about my MEW wallet

I also get the news, if etherdelta hacked, luckily I have logout from etherdelta ;)

I just found out here that Etherdelta got a disaster, I opened Etherdelta to another site. what if I have opened Etherdelta? What should I do, I fear there will be something undesirable with my token or Eth in it.

Please, stay calm and don't panic. Ok, Etherdelta was hacked as fact.
Anyway, your private valet keys as I understand is saved in your browser's cache so funds can't be stolen from it.
I think so at least.

Well... The https certificate is still not validating for etherdelta domain... best to be patient or use an alternate exchange while everything get fixed.

and guys is it finished now? when can i get my tokens out of ether delta?

I think this is an unusual case, with his hack Etherdelta has so many people who lost their coin. thanks for sharing information and hopefully our coin balance in Etherdelta is not stolen

Etherdelta has always been a shitty exchange, i dont understand why a lot of people have been using etherdelta as a main wallet for themselves.
It is very strange, and we all know that they haven't been scammed, they probably run out with the funds, just like all the other exchanges/cloudmining sites are doing.

this is the worst thing you can get if you are using exchanges frequently, im sorry for the loss my brothers.

What's really unusual is that rather than just throwing up a fake site, these hackers have managed to get access to the EtherDelta DNS servers and put a phishing site on the real EtherDelta domain. Think about that for a minute.

Tens of thousands, maybe even hundreds of thousands of people may have logged on in that time without being able to tell the difference and ended up handing over their private keys to the hackers.

You are entitled to think that if you use ED through a bookmarked link that you've always used then you'll be safe but even that wouldn't protect you in this instance.

Also, etherscan.io seems to be having some SSL issues so please avoid for now.

This is really scary, if the phishers can do this to ETHERDELTA and hijack the DNS SERVER to redirect the traders to the phishing site, would they also be able to hijack the DNS SERVER OF MYETHERWALLET as well? SO then we lose all our coins in our MEW wallets also? My Wife uses ETHERDELTA a lot but after this she does not want to risk trading on this exchange any more, even if there is a lot of volume trading on it. Better to use centralized exchanges, with security such as 2 factor authentication, there is less risk of hacking or loss that way.

Oh my, I hope is not a lot! I have just a little bit and did not use it today but is scary. Etherdelta was the one exchange that let you hold keys but even that is not enouhg

That was close, thank god i already pull out all of my ethereum and other altcoins before the hack incident in etherdelta. This incident is very suspicious, seems like there is an inside job happened. Lets be careful guys, at the first time i visit ED i already had doubt that this will happen.

Etherdelta has all the erc20 tokens that's why people use it. They accept almost all kind of erc20 tokens. But I don't understand why they're silent after this much serious action. They should be held responsible for this hacking. It could be an inside job.

In this case someone could hack the dns of the centralized exchange and do the same operation.

The problem is everything is going fast, sites trying to grow and security budget goes last.

so this is the reason why i can't acces to etherdelta official site
i hope this problem will be fixed as soon as possible

any idea when etherdelta will up? since last night can't access at all. will my balance fund and token safe? how to withdraw my eth balance?
if etherdelta is gone then how? ??? ??? ???
how you guys think?
hope etherdelta site up as soon as possible ....

You can move your tokens out of EtherDelta but don't attempt to log into the site as it isn't safe yet.

I would recommend joining the Ethereum Blue Telegram group and reading their pinned post which gives step-by-step instructions on how to move your tokens out of EtherDelta. The admins and members are really helpful and you'll learn a lot about crypto security.

https://t.co/RoxhCbc3ku (BLUE Telegram link)

I would also strongly suggest using either MetaMask or the BLUE chrome extension in conjunction with EtherDelta in future as they will both prevent your private key from being exposed to EtherDelta and protect you from situations such as this ED hack.

DNS server was hacked? how the heck something like that happened? is there so much vulnerabilities in the network,i pitty those developers.

This is bad.. I have always been concerned bout Etherdelta. When came we move the funds?

ED twitter mentioned they will be back up soon.

How did happened? Thus the orders sitting will be gone too.?

thanks for the information. I do use etherdelta for some of my coins, I will wait for more news for this, hopefully everything will be back to normal

always seem like a bit of a dodgy exchange anyway

It is a very responsible move by our community members to immediately share the news of the hack. There are unfortunate few who have lost their coins. But many were saved thanks to the active spreading about the hacking.

Please keep yourself safe from logging into etherdelta. Why even enter when there is a serious, clear and confirmed threat? There are people who feel that the threat would have been abated by now since its been quite a while. But that would be most foolish. Until the website officially confirms that the threat and hacker has been countered, please do not access the site. Further, please wait for any other safety measure that the site announces for its members. To leave the site untouched for some days will be the wisest act. Curiosity kills the cat, remember.

This is a serious problem that we face in the crypto world. A solid protection should be provided for our wallets. As far as etherdelta is concerned, the ones who lost coins have been put to great misery. We need to further build our measures. We also.need to find ways to trace these hackers. Not only here but until things get streamlined, which might take few years from now, let us be extremely careful and cautious with all crypto sites and wallets.

I am also very upset. It seemed to me that this is the most reliable exchange. But now I do not know which exchanger to trust. Etherdelta should now improve its security

Ethereum BLUE goes a lot further than any other security project to address the issues you've raised. I am an investor in their coin (but not a team member or dev) and I think they are going to be the future of Crypto security.

Ohh yes! and a lot much funds were stuck in ED
However, if you follow them on github, you must have noticed the steps being provided to withdraw stuck funds from ED without login in ED (directly via MEW).

check your balance here: https://deltabalances.github.io/ by entering your public key so that you can understand if you got hit by it and if all your funds are safe there.  :)

As crypto investors we have to take personal responsibility for our security. This is proven by the latest EtherDelta hack as well as many other exchange/wallet hacks before this.

We simply cannot rely on exchanges alone to protect us.

For example, nobody should be leaving their funds on EtherDelta but after this hack it has become apparent that many people are still doing this.

Anyone who went through the simple process of setting up either MetaMask or the BLUE chrome extension would have kept their tokens safe from these ED hackers. We need to promote education and personal responsibility otherwise fear of getting hacked will keep mainstream money away from crypto.

EtherDelta confirmed the attack on Twitter and advised all users not to use the site. At the time of writing, they haven't lifted the warning, so EtherDelta should still be considered unsafe to use. Now risk trade on etherdelta .

This isn’t the first time when Etherdelta is under hacker attack. It was in October that the platform wasn’t accessible for some time and now the same thing. I’d like to think that developers of the platform will find the way to provide effective security.

i have some kind of coin in that exchange (etherdelta)
if i just let the coin in there without withdraw to my wallet until the website safe
my coin will be safe or not?

Theyll be safe.. You can check your etherdelta balance here
https://deltabalances.github.io/

jeez to bad, lucky me who not have single ether nor token in my account and not make any visit to ed since last week. But yeah feel sory for people who lost their fund, and we all should be carefull next time

I do not attend the Stock Etherdelta yet. We are all in anticipation of the owners fixing a hole for hackers. And perhaps double the budget for the maintenance of security services. The market is developing but the scammers are learning and becoming smarter, unfortunately.

So how did this all pan out? Safe again? Glad I was away during this, hopefully I wasn't affected!

what a loss i have been trading on this exchange does anyone know when is the site will be released i know they had launched i site let you check the amount you have on the exchange.

This is a disaster. This is why we need decentralised DNS and decentralised hosting of files. We need an entirely new decentralised web where this simply cannot happen.

I wouldn't be surprised if the DNS provider was the weak link that fell prey to social engineering and handed over control to the hacker.

Still not over yet and even when EtherDelta is up and running again they will have to put a lot of effort into convincing people that it's safe to trade there.

They do have the advantage that there isn't really anywhere else for people to trade such a variety of ERC20 tokens but security should be the priority. And now everyone should know that they must only trade on EtherDelta if they are using either MetaMask or the even safer option of BLUE chrome extension.

Either of those options would have prevented user's private keys being compromised even if the user had attempted trading on the fake EtherDelta site.

I have been watching the news all day from the creators of the Etherdelta exchange. They try, but for now it's not safe to visit their site. I think we will have good news for tomorrow. I do not want to give up this exchange, there are unique tokens and there is a good low price for buying.

Very good I`ve noticed this topic.. Big thanks for the video, it will be very useful for me, and just right now but also in future

This thread was a big help to those traders who have fund stuck upin this exchange including myself. I have different altcoins funds in there and I don't know how get out in there without stealing my coins with somebody else. So thank you for this mate God bless you moreI hope there is still lot of people like you who had a concern to us in this situation like this.

I'm really starting to get tired of these things, we make some money and these hackers are crashing
Exactly what date was hacked?

the phishing wallet started getting transactions 1 day 3 hrs ago
Anyways i was lucky that i saw the warning on twitter otherwise my tokens would've been stolen too.
I think that Zach handled the warning to prevent people from getting hacked pretty professionally, but the hack shouldn't have hacked in the first place
do we have any information on how exactly they hacked the dns?

I hope ETH is in good hand now coz i want to trade my coins there. Is there a possible way to trade in other exchanges using my ERC-20?  or i will just wait until they fix that issue. hoping for a good response to those who are updated on ETHDELTA hacked exposed

From their Twitter account earlier today (https://twitter.com/etherdelta/status/943857880024920064):


If you were using MetaMask or Blue, you should be fine. If you haven't had Etherdelta's web site open / didn't import your private key, then you should be fine. Even still, this scared the crap out of me. I emptied the ETH in my private key and the tokens in the smart contract to a safe address. I will empty out the ETH held in the smart contract as soon as it's safe.

Tweets from EtherDelta
"We are in the last step to bring the service back and should have some announcements soon. Thank for you all for retweeting about the imposers phishing attack yesterday."
"Please note if you were using @metamask_io or hardware wallet on EtherDelta, your funds are completely *SAFE* from the phishing attack."
"Also note deposits can only be accessed through user's individual private key via the EtherDelta contract. If you had *NEVER* imported your key on the imposer's phishing site, your deposit should be safe."

It was a phising attack ? What really happen there? I saw a 250K lost on ETH funds.

This is really scary. Is there already any information about the entity of the stolen funds? And the type of stolen coins?

Someone hacked their DNS and put up a phishing site on the real domain. Only people who use ED by entering their private keys have been affected.

If anyone needs help in transferring their funds out of EtherDelta while the site is compromised then I would recommend joining the Ethereum Blue telegram group:

https://t.co/RoxhCbc3ku

The admins and members have made it their mission to help every single person who needs help getting funds out of EtherDelta and they have a pinned message which gives step-by-step info with diagrams and annotations.

They have a beta release of their BLUE chrome extension which would have protected people from this phishing attack but you don't have to be a user to join their Telegram and benefit from the free help and advice they are offering to EtherDelta users.

it's back online

Ether Delta has been hacked by the scammer. Some people invest to get a profit but some are stealing. So sad to know that kind of issue.

I joined the group, and it was very heping... I followed steps to take my funds on ED and it's done... I'm safe for now... I wonder if I'll use ED to trade again in the future..

for a while it is better to trade at other exchange.its still risky now for trading on etherdelta.maybe people got scammed by this attack.wait for official announcement from etherdelta for trade there.

I think when the address bar shows right address with https enable, it is safe to use.
How is it possible? Does the fake site use the same url under https protocol?
Is it more safe to use etherdelta ip address?

I had tokens I hope they will be OK , during the attack on the website I did not go

I am now back to use etherdeata but only in one wallet right now. i dont want to experience the same panic that happen last day. i will make sure all of my fund there is i can afford to lose even if there will be breach happen again .

actually nothing happen to you if you not logged in to etherdelta after hackers attack .according to officilal announcement of etherdelta hacker get in to DNS server of ed and converted original etherdelta url to other site.if you logged in to your etherdelta account and given your private keys after hackers attack you may be at high risk of lost your fund from myetherwallet.if you are a victim highly recommend to make another mew account and transfer your funds as soon as possible.according to sourses your metamask wallet is safe.if you not logged in to your eterdelta during that period you dont have to worry or get panic.just wait till all these restored and official announcement.

Anyone know the exact period?

I am very sad. It seemed to me that a decentralized exchange would guarantee that my coins were fully protected. But scammers turned out to be very smart

Hacked yesterday now its back. everyone can use it now.

Tell me, is there another website that can be a substitute for Etherdelta?

If what you say it's true, it means that a decentralized exchange has been hacked. Do you realize how this will impact the blockchain world? Expect insecurity to rise. :|

I Think this is not hacked, but DNS massive attack ( i dont know what )
Now, Etherdelta is back, i hope this situation can be normally and dev fix bug issue
Dont put your Private Key to others phising link, beware

I was also surprised by the news from etherdelta, I also had time to panic and pull my coins in etherdelta.
but hopefully this is not a big deal for etherdelta and I hope the team can also handle it quickly.

they are just around the corner always finding ways to grab the opportunity and etherdelta gives them that, now we really can't
rely anything online, hope it will be resolved right away and some plan has been done to compensate those victims.

website is working fine now https://etherdelta.com its slow but fine. and save , I never give my private key to this website i use meta mask Ethereum based google chrome extension. When this website was down i was searching for alternate website like etherdelta , and i was shocked no website found and i feel sad because i was hurry to buy that token. I got my ethereum balance back..
Any idea about FLIXX-ETH , Max price for this token


Kindly close this thread now Avoid spam

This is getting worst,a lot of exchanges are being hacked its so alarming to the users who gives trust to these exchanges,where to go now?

You can have a look at Radar Relay. It’s much more limited in terms of coins listed but seems to be the next big (decentralised) thing in terms of exchanges.

bad days for crypto world ... many people are getting effected with these technological upgraded bad groups.... these people loosing enire life savings of many people and breaking the trust of newbies who entering into crypto world

No. They sniffed this tech and will not let that thought go, regardless of a crash. It’s too potent for people to just walk away from. And I suspect the new ATH will come sooner than most think. The cat is out of the bag.

They are back already all is good,but be cautious with your holdings use etherdelta when you only need to dump your tokens,do not use it as a wallet.

Etherdelta is ok now and they're back for business. Sometimes Cryptocurrencies were attacked but they're not remain broken because they have developers and everytime there's an attack they will fix it as soon as possible.
Etherdelta isn't that special that it is exempted on hacking and attacks because some commercial and top Cryptocurrencies do like Bittrex and binance so that's ok, the best part is they're back on business.

The latest attack surprised me, now i don't know how to be sure it is the right site my bowser shows! I thought it is enough to look at address while https protocol enable, but seems it is not true.

Yes, and everyone should know that Etherdelta is back to business. For me, even some people hates Etherdelta because it has so many issues like lag and congestion but I don't think that is always the case. I checked Etherdelta now and they're ok and the speed is just like a normal exchange in the market. There's nothing new but definitely I'm going to prefer Etherdelta than other exchange.

Hackers always around when they know more fund and more people are using on that site. You should be careful guys, because you work hard to have it. Hopefully everything will be alright guys.

Thanks for this USEFUL Information. They already re-activated the Server. Hope the bug fixed. I really scare if this things happen again

It's the non-decentralised part of it that was hacked, the weak point, the DNS.

Etherdelta being hacked through the Help of DNS which means we should be very carefully the way we run our wallet because it can be compromise by hackers in any slit mistake made by use

Me too i was confuse when i am logged in to Etherdelta the loading system is to slow and even if i forgot account already then i logged in the following day i was still import account.I was wondering that there is something wrong happening to Etherdelta all of my Alts in Etherdelta i withdraw them all back to my MEW.

Well at the minimum you needed to click a phishing link to get hacked which makes me feel a bit more safe. Also ED tweeted now that they will make an attempt to make the interface better as well as educate users on phishing attempts which is also good for the end user and makes me feel even safer.

Well thats the good news,  and upgrading the interface is the way much better to other newbie users to define which is genuine and not the phising mirror site.  For now i will remove my balances from ed. And have some rest.  Keep safe everyone

I do not know what the situation is now.I have not used EtherDelta since the site hacked.it would not be good to repeat the same thing once again.I will not use etherdelta for a while.

still! looking forward that etherdelta to be back online so I can check all my coins inside etherdellta.
got some coins there that are not withdrawn and on the selling list and its very valuable tokens. my account left linked there,
hope there is nothing to worry about but can't.

It's back up, I was able to withdraw all my tokens

Someone log in into ether delta? I want to log in, but im little scared becaufe of that attack...  Its safe now or better wait with withdrawals for few days?

For now we are forbidden to transact in etherdelta, many are losing their money. I can't estimate how many losses are due to this problem.
There must be a tighter repair and security from the etherdelta site.

now it's back. I'm glad ETH in etherdelta is not lost. but deposit and withdrawal charges remain expensive

Actually, 4 Gweï work really fine

What a mess, crypto is escalating its transformation into a criminal playground. Exchanges hacked, icos pumping, dumping, running or just scamming, hyips. As the thefts increase  the gov't regulations will be soon to follow. So much for decentralization because of the few but outrageously bold criminals.

I have a little amount in my MYETHERWALLET now, Is it safe to hold my ETH in MEW account!!! I think Ether-Delta is losing it's market for it's present Problems. No one knows the exact time when Ether-Delta will work smoothly like as before. :(

yes this is true, etherdelta was attacked by hackers a few days ago, and some wallet accounts have been stolen, i also have some coin in etherdelta, and now fortunately etherdelta is back as before

Are guys you sure it's safe now?

some guys on twitter reported he is been hacked after ether delta clearance report that ED has working normally again. This after ED statement whos saying it's back to normal again.


here the link https://twitter.com/Socal_crypto/status/944411391775166464

Is this really true?. So what has been done by the etherdelta management about this.  Im actually on the verge of selling some coins there worth something.  But this is a dangerous news,  I think Ill hold a bit till this is all clear.

I hope this problem will be fixed soon, I hope google will protect cryptocurrency users by block any fake website. It really a big prpblem, the law enforcement must can trace it because all transactions is recorded.

But if you want much faster confirmation set your gwei in 15 so you don't miss anything.


The fact the being decentralized is just being taken advantage of these criminals and cryptos are just being a victim here. So we should be really cautious in everything and for once and for all ED isn't a wallet so don't store huge amount, after you're done trading withdraw your coins and don't mind if there any fees, what's important is to keep safe your coins.

What a mess. I must admit I've never enjoyed the experience of using ED, despite the necessity sometimes due to the coins listed. Luckily I wasn't affected, but hopefully they will now implement sufficient security measures to stop any such hack from happening again.

Etherdelta is already back in the business. I withdraw some of my Ethereum and it withdraw flawlessly. I just hope this incident would be  a lesson to the developer and improve their security and get back the trust of the community.

Very sad I thought decentralized exchanges are the most reliable and the possibility of losing money is very small. Actually, that's how it turned out. But still I think decentralized exchanges are the future. While I use BITTREX, BINANCE.
Now really looking forward to the launch of the exchange on the basis of Xspectr completely anonymous exchange. I think it will be very interesting

and we should be on our guard at all times, it's not too hard create new wallets time to time, make a bookmark to ED and be suspicious when our private keys are asked

All is back to normal,all is well lets hope it wont happen again in the future.

Really bad news. Hope everyone can get their coins back again soon.

How fast you think EtherDelta will need to fully recover the trust of users again? Was there any number released, how many $ were stolen during the hack?

But i think their reputation as one of most reliable trading sites are now damage in which for sure the number of their clients will going to reduced and it will take time for them to recover their stolen dignity. I just hope that the responsible for this will be punish accordingly and will be put behind bars.

Yes it have been hacked , but all Myetherwallet acoounts are in safebly.

Wow that sucks for anyone affected by this, poor practice around protecting their DNS records. Sadly I bet there's still lots of people that don't even realize still that they've had their accounts drained.

yesterday when I accessed etherdelta, very slowly. I want to check the balance I have, it's very long time. even many times its loading failed. is it the effect of hackers? is it dangerous? because I still keep my balance, I have not yet withdraw.

So if I understood well, the smart contracts holding tokens itself was safe, but the website hosting it and the route leading to the website wasn't...
Now, when we type etherdelta address, how can we be sure it is the right etherdelta ?

Cheap and half solution : type in the IP address instead of the name. This will prevent a DNS hack attack if I am not wrong. But this won't prevent the etherdelta website itself to be hacked...

Is Etherdelta not a decentralized exchange? Why is it stolen? Is the website hacked, pointing to a fraudulent website? ??? ??? ??? ???

Hacker attacks are dangerous for all exchanges of crypto coins. And there will be more and more of them. But exchanges are also taking active measures against hacker attacks. In my opinion etherdelt is the best stock exchange for the present day. I hope in the future this will not happen.

Has ED shared information about financial losses? Hopefully my tokens were still there. I moved them to my wallet.

One of my crypto friend was hacked by etherdelta last night in just a blink of an eye all of his eth was gone. It happened after trading some of his token and then he tried to withdraw his eth back to his mew but when he checked his wallet no more eth left behind it went to 0 balance. Since he doesn't have enough eth i sent him some amount in order for him to transfer all of his valuable tokens to other address he has and yes he made it. But the most interesting part here after for how many hours when he checked his other address which he sent his other tokens to, half portion of eth lost was sent there and the half was on my mew. I really don't understand what happen. Well, anyway I am happy for him that he was able to retrieved his eth.

I have not been stolen, there are very few crypto coins on my wallet, and I did not make transactions at that moment.

The blockchain team is already moving i think? The operation of etherdelta is on going. Yup etherdelta is one of the best stck exchanger here. And hope also that this will never happen anymore. Many people suffer from being hacked and stolen coins/eth.

Good god I did not make any transaction at that time because I'm annoyed on what the CryptoKitties did on the Ethereum network so I guess they are still  a blessing in disguise after all.

I'm doing ok. I already bought and sold. Everything is working fine. no tokens have disappeared
The only official URL for EtherDelta is https://etherdelta.com. Bookmark it once and use the bookmark.
Do not send your tokens directly to the smart contract, or they will be lost and unrecoverable. Use the Deposit form (upper left) to send the proper deposit transaction.

                                               The one who did this will be rich and will enjoy all his life until he meets his death, and then clearly learns that the world in which he lived happily did not appear accidentally, but was created by the Creator.  And he will understand the transience of his earthly life and now, for all his bad deeds, he will have to bear responsibility, without the possibility of correcting that either.

The attack on EtherDelta was a case of DNS poisoning where the domain name for etherdelta.com was hijacked to point to another server.

Unfortunately in this case, using the official URL or bookmarking the URL will not have prevented exposure to the attack.

Because of this attact i move all my token to another account to avoid a possible theft

Is the site safe to use now or still hacked? I need to use it by I am avoiding it from days.

One day after etherdelta hacked, some people lost their $30,000 and he upload it to youtube. It's so horrible

The information provided by you is very important and useful. Thank you for providing this information. keep update in future.

Lucky me, my token and eth is safe and now can transfer it to another wallet, maybe this is one of the benefit using decentralize exchange.

thanks for the info is very useful to me so I can be more careful in opening my wallet so as not to get in by hackers

currently there is an ico of IDEX....next ed exchange based on eth with profit sharing concept

yes idex is a average exchange.

man do u want to tell me that the hackers captured more than 2.6 million dollars ?? omg

I have not been ripped off, but i had them on my wallet. Thanks to Blue team, they helped us to get our coins out of etherdelta.

Is there any alternative to Etherdelta? I think that after the hacking this exchange will lose some users. Since trust is already lost. If the exchange was hacked once - they can crack the second one.

EtherDelta was hacked and according to articles people lost millions of dollars.
The issue with the hacking has been solved. The unfortunate thing is that people had to lose money.

New CEO new attack. You just saying that Etherdelta security features very weak. For those wanting to rescue their funds from ED you can do it. Myetherwallet has a contract interaction capability that can help you out.

I'm also heard that Etherdelta has been hacked , My Friend lost all the funds, actually I never user Etherdelta because I don't true this platform

Yeah, basically if you kept your private keys you can recover your funds without accessing ED. Now the question is, which decentalised exchange can we trust now? because it is definetly something needed.

The problem is that there are no alternatives depending of which tokens do you want to trade. ED has the worst interface and is extremely easy to make mistakes, but it is so needed that people have to use it.

Can't wait for the 0x project to produce something viable. If/when they do, it'll blow Etherdelta out of the water.

In the meantime, there's nowhere else to load up on cheap tokens before they hit larger exchanges. What's the consensus now? The DNS compromise is definitely over, right? Metamask considered enough to be safe?

this seems to be the fear of us all who have coins and confused are stored in the wallet where

DEX technology needs years of testing to prove it's reliable for fast and secure cryptocurrency exchange that can handle cross-blockchain transactions. It's another hype story in this market where a lot have been said but not really accomplished. Let's wait and see what else is coming.

At last time I have got the information that Electrum was hacked. We see how vulnerable cryptocurrency platforms wallets every day. This is really risky deal to make money here on a big scale.

I also have a account in the etherdelta but i think the it is not really hacked because all my coins are still there, maybe some only are being hacked.  ;D

Only the DNS of etherdelta has been hacked, What really happened last december is phishing. If you try to open etherdelta it will redirect you to another site ( The fake one) which is exactly look like etherdelta and it gives the hacker all the information and access to your wallet. Well, if you're using metamask that time you should be safe from the phishing. Etherdelta is now back and can be used again for trading.

Those kind of hacks could become more sophisticated in the future. What if they social engineer the DNS, upload a fake version of EAL on the Mozilla extensions page, and also advise people to withdraw from EtherDelta manually through a fake version of MyEtherWallet? Those things have already happened, except not at the same time yet.
