A few days ago etherdelta posted a tweet that some good news will come soon. So these are good news? Etherdelta got hacked and hacker transferring money from ed! We are not safe anywhere!! What do you think? I am feeling so bad  :'( :'(

It looks like the hackers were able to access the DNS servers and an imposter site will appear, if you try to go to etherdelta. Hence, for now, we shouldn't use etherdelta to be safe. The fake site should not have twitter or the chat box as it seems, but this could be changed soon.
Here are the two official tweets about it. Until now, there is no update:

https://twitter.com/etherdelta/status/943583921714925569

Would be better if we wait for the official announcement and avoid logging in to etherdelta at the moment, since it redirects us to phishing site there are accounts will be vulnerable and hack, Do not put your coins into trading platforms get your own offline wallet in that way you are somehow 80% safe but still sometimes hacker will find it' way to hack someone, let's be all be careful :) again, avoid logging in to ED atm

Nobody saw this coming I guess. Is there no 2nd factor authentication on etherdelta?

They already turned off the domain service and their hosting,they should go back in few days because we need to trade our tokens.

Well more likely your money will be gone unless the exchange has the plans to still continue but don't lose hope just wait for further announcements of Etherdelta regarding on your compensation and further action that they will do after the hack. Next time put your eth and your tokens in your wallet only just use myetherwallet if you don't have a ether wallet installed on your computer and don't use exchanges as your main wallet because like what happened on etherdelta, exchange were vulnerable from the hackers so, you will be in big risk if you put your coin in exchanges

I heard that etherdelta has been hacked by someone.
For a while better do not transact first, because it will harm the coins that we already have.
If we fear the transaction will be sucked by them and our coins will be lost.

 i had made a transaction to transfer my RDN token to Etherdelta and due to slow ethereum blockchain it is just now confirmed and my fuel and RDN tokens are no etherdelta and then i was about to import my account and then i saw their tweet there. of etherdelta got hacked then million in the shape tokens will be lost..   :-[ :-[ :-[

Etherdelta wallet still safe, you can try it through the explorer. the only possible thing to the imposter to steal the ethereum through those are getting trapped by the fake site. And then they are all putting their private key in there. Because they are not reading the latest announcement about etherdelta.
Op's money still safe in my opinion. but just waiting for until etherdelta exchange will alive again. As you can see how the majority of people reaction after see etherdelta got hacked.

There is many centralized exchanges are getting hacked now, I think its time for the decentralized exchange to shine, I'm looking forward to altcoin.io, I believe the exchange has many potentials.

It has been hacked and ED has told all users to stay away from their site till they give the green light. The extent of damage is unknown at the moment.

I moved my tokens to ED wallet last week. But today cannot see them in etherscan. Not sure if I lost them or not. I guess if hack happened this week I still should have my tokens, right? In etherscan I don't see token transfer except that is done by me last week.

This is a little bit scary to think that Etherdelta was one of the most reliable trading sites. Good thing that i dont have account of this site and i feel sorry for those holders that their hard earned coins got stolen better to activate 2FA security to ensure the safety of our accounts and we should not put all coins in one account or one trading site.

This is getting worst it just proves that ethereum based exchanges and coins are fragile to the hackers,thats why i invest more in BTC i know the technology wont get hacked easily maybe 10-20 years from now.

man that's a relief, i thought you had misspelled yobit in your title so i had to quickly google it and check. I have 3btc on yobit right now so i'm stoked it was youbit instead!

I didn't know that YoBit got hacked, when did that happen? Hopefully there isn't that many people hurt by it.

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.

Your money is safe if you didnt made transactions today,it will be fixed soon so dont worry the developers team is doing their best to fix the system as soon as possible.

Looks like somebody dont like crypto at all. Nicehash, etherdelta, youbit and many others... this too many places for usual small hackers groups. Hope they will be found and punished.

It is unfortunate that people  hack into accounts and steal other people's hard earn coins. The same people could use their talent that is their intelligence positively or use it for something useful to themselves and the society .It is really sad :( >:( :'(

.

the team of Ethereum blue is coming up with a solution to cases like this. they intend to protect all private keys with two factor authentication.  therefore even if your private key is compromised, your funds or tokens will still be safe

Both Bittrex and Polo have lost my coins for days and weeks before. Now Etherdelta and Youbit got hacked! What exchange is safe to use these days?

Is there anyone lost tokens or ethereum on this hack? i am not sure if they are able to access tokens or ethereum.
Youbit hacked twice and they decide to shutdown. But i am not sure about etherdelta.

:) It's decentralized exchange. You don't have even an account to turn 2nd factor authentication on.

As of the hack, I noticed the suspicious behaviour and interface yesterday when I came to ED and tried to get to the contract address which wasnt listed there and got the page with PPT (or something like this). Moreover the GUI was changed a little bit. So I decided not to do anything and it was the totally correct decicion.

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.

It's confirmed that Etherdelta got hacked and was attacked, it was posted. We can't stop these attackers it's all about money, they are greedy ones that are just waiting for the rise and just suddenly attack an exchange. This is getting worst and every exchange should be aware of it and it's now time to invest into a better security that they can provide not only for their business but also for their customers.

I don't have an idea too on when it got hacked, lack of evidence too with his money that were gone.

I have to raise my hand for that comment it's really sad how a smart person that can hack a website or whatever don't uses his intelligence in getting his money the hard way by working hard to get his goal

I just heard that their website was attacked, and I didn't think that my personal account was hacked, which sounds too scary to trade on this platform.

That's why we also active to see news the in the social media. So we aren't panic to face something like this. Better for you to not use ED for this time until get the next information.

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 think majority of the funds are not yet compromise, i tried to use  https://deltabalances.github.io and  my balance are still intact.

Don't try to use Etherdelta until it is safe to avoid lost of funds. Just wait for the instruction on the official twitter account of Etherdelta if the site is already safe to use.

I feel bad for them its not a good for their community a lot of people are using etherdelta in a regular basis,i hope they will find a better solution to the problem.

The hackers are despicable.
We really have to be extra vigilant and pay attention to security.
This is not the first case of hacking, neither will it be the last.

I guess best is keep all or majority of the coins in hardware walllet

this afternoon I tried to open etherdelta
but what happens, the ethdelta address becomes phishing. I immediately close the browser and try to scan pc by antivirus. it turns out the news that I read also dns ethdelta is being hacked. this is crazy

Does it mean we lost our tokens that on on ED wallets? Is there any update? Or it just DNS got hacked not wallets?

Hahaha if you were holding all your money and erc20 tokens in etherdelta you really diserved to have lost all your money. No offense, but who could be so dumb to keep all their money in there?
It makes no sense. it is the same as saying that i am holding all my bitcoins on coinexchange.

EtherDelta was never a good place to hold your tokens, they even stated it on their main page, like if they knew about this hacker attack. But anyway if you didn't get trapped by the phishing site your tokens are still safe. And regarding Youbit, I didn't even heard about this exchange before the news that it was hacked.

If you are using MetaMask or the BLUE chrome extension then you will be ok. If you are using MyEtherWallet or entering your private keys directly into EtherDelta then your funds are at risk so you need to get them off EtherDelta as soon as possible BUT DO NOT LOG IN TO ETHERDELTA!

You can get step-by-step instructions on how to move your funds without logging into EtherDelta by joining the Ethereum Blue Telegram group:

So far they have given the best advice on how to deal with the EtherDelta hack and they've already helped lots of people to safely move their funds out of ED.

We really are not safe and these guys dashed out with a whole lot of funds. A lot of people who did not quickly get the news ended up being a victim and over $6000 worth of hard earned tokens and some Ether went into some scammers account. Really a sorry and devastating case.

DNS got hacked which means the hackers were able to put up a fake ED site on the real ED domain. Anyone who was trading without MetaMask or BLUE chrome extension would have entered their private key into the fake site and the hackers would then be able to steal everything in that wallet.

I feel sorry for the ones who may have done a quick bit of buying/selling on ED yesterday, not realised they've been phished and then set off on journeys to be with family over Christmas and New Year. They might not have the intention to come online for several days so imagine their reaction when they find out.

That's not the best advice.
If we use metamask then it's completely safe to trade on Etherdelta. Anyway one need not to keep balance in Etherdelta or any other exchanges. Don't use your personal or Martin Ethereum address to trade on Etherdelta.

Usually as first step specialists of hacked platform froze its operation and functionality to avoid any more consequences. That’s why the site is inaccessible. When the break-in will be eliminated you will see if all you money stay at place.

As I know the money on these platforms are frozen at the moment until the problems will be solved by technical support staff. We’ll se how the situation will evolve with the time. But now there is no information that the money is lost.

Is there any updates? Haven't heard from their twitter. Hopefully wallets are safe and not hacked.

We need to tighten our security and just like in real life, Xmas and the holiday season are times when most of the robbers and hackers are lurking to steal everyone's funds so everyone has a horrible holiday except the robber, thieves and hackers. It is not the best time to be trading or doing many transactions right now because of all the thieves waiting in the wings to rob you of all your wealth and money that you maybe have worked so hard to make.

Yes, we are not safe. But don't panic. Banks also hacked. I am sure that the team EtherDelta will understand!

That's why we always preached not to put a lot of your funds in a exchange, because in a likelihood of a hack, everything is lost on our end. And yes we are not safe hackers are really targeting us because of the huge amount of money involved and transactions are irreversible. Once they can a hold of your funds and transfer it, there's no way on our end to get it back.

There's a lot of precautions to used like strong password, 2FA. So its really up to us on how to handle it. If you are not careful, its gonna be gone. So protect your account at all times. Better be safe than sorry.

This things happen now is big chaos in the world of digital currency,last.month we heard that parity wallet was sabotage or hacked by  person inside job,and now the etherdelta trading site's was hacked by the hacker ,i dont know if there someone loosing there asset.i thinks this things happen now many investor withdraw there asset or capital,because they panic thats why now the value of bitcoin is slowly down and I still trust in my own instinct that bitcoin will  recover someday and  things will  going back to normal.

Did anybody use ED these days?
Is it safe or not yet?

Cheers!

Oh how sad, there's no safety for the transaction of our money. I know how bad you feel right now, I've experience that already, all the money was gone too and right after that I was really become lazy working to earn money for about a month ago. It was really annoying that was hacked but of course no one wanted that to happen it just did so all we have to do is just wait for the update about etherdelta.

It's safe right now, As you can see how so many people are using etherdelta again, The decentralized thing still keep the amount safe the only thing that gets affected by the DNS attack was actually replace the real with the fake just like another phising that already planted in etherdelta. I'm using it right now and all of the transactions went smoothly.
