As  many  of you know  it seems that Ether delta  has been  hacked?

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2622226.0

I have  bought  one wee ago  A LOT OF  PRL  coins


Are  they in danger?

I am  afraid  to go to  the  Ether delta  website and check...


Which  kind  of attack has been?

DNS   spoofing?

IT'S   A DECENTRALIZED EXANGE,  HOW  COULD HACKERS STOLEN OUR COINS  IF  WE DO NOT LOG IN into the phising website?

I bought  PRL  coins  one week ago


AM  I   in danger?

etherdelta team are doing their best to solve the problem and i hoping that they will run again their trading platform so that i can trade again

The problem already fixed and you will be able to use etherdelta again, but to make sure your amount still safe and you can try to check your wallet with block explorer. if that was still on there and your amount still safe. Etherdelta DNS was hacked.

 i try to log in etherdelta, look system are busy and i cant log in, i think its not been solved, they have internal problem

Yes. ED is still hacked. You should not trade now. It will cost you money. You should use metamask to check if the web is secure or not. Do not try to log in manually. Maybe ED will come back soon. Their staff is working hard. ED was hacked and I lost 1 ETH. unlucky  :(

Etherdelta should work more speedily. I've funds locked up there and i have no idea of how the funds are doing. Any idea of how i can confirm it without using etherdelta

No! Only dns provider is hacked! etherdelta is in safe

I have   coins  there.   If  I do not  log in and if  let them there

will be  they safe or  not?  Or  do I need to  transfer the to MEW  urgently?

yes ed has been hacked..now the site is up and running..but be cautious don't import your main wallet to avoid being hacked..

Etherdelta is back online but i need to wait the further information on this. Fortunately i only have a little eth there.

There were people who had all their coins in there, and this is getting worse, a lot of people who were just entering to the market deposited all their ethereums in there.
That is preocupant, but it is obvious that they haven't been hacked, they just stoled everything.

I have checked my 3 etherium wallets and all seem fine. I had logged in etherdelta with their private keys and there is not a problem for now.

good news) but as I understnad the keys are not stored on the exchange, am I right? So, the funds actually were not in danger. The hackers could just lead you to another domain and website and there if you type your key, take anything from your wallet.

It's working again today, but I'm afraid to check in. I already have a lot of investment inside.

Yes they have been hacked DNS server, be patient now and dont login to website with your private key because yours tokens still safe there.

I think it's better to wait and not enter the site. Is there any official information? Put it here please.

The real EtherDelta is back up now, I get no phishing warning. As long as you used MetaMask and also didn't try to buy/sell during the attack, all of your coins are still there. And you can actually withdraw without even touching the EtherDelta site. Plenty of tutorials on youtube. I got mine off using MyEtherWallet.

I think this happened yesterday, I believe they have resolved the issue, I also have fund on the exchange not sure if the hack get to my account because I decided not to panic because there is nothing you can do about the past just not to make thesame mistake again

I also read that its a real attack and that wallets have been robbed. Does someone know how much damage has been done in total? How much ETH has been stolen? How many tokens have been stolen?
I must admit, this really shattered my trust in EtherDelta. I always thought as it is a decentralized exchange that this was the safest way to trade. But turns out that its also not secure. Hope that the ED team will fix the issue and make sure that something like this cant happen again!

Once again guys, if you used MetaMask and also did not try to transact during the attack (lasted only an hour or 2) then your coins are totally safe. Take them off EtherDelta for future reference though. It will be hacked again more than likely. Worst security of any exchange. Don't know anything about coding, just saying they get hacked a lot.

The smart contract was never hacked, your tokens are safe. Unless you bought during the period their DNS server was hacked you will be fine.

Etherium was not affected at all. The investor who has lost hope investment is very few.

I hate to hear this kind of things... But I think etherdelta never get back it's trustworthiness again or everyone will know that shit things could happen anytime in anywhere...

When Etherdelta was hacked nobody noted or reported that their coins were gone or stolen, Etherdelta DNS was compromised so only transaction delay and congestion are the effects of the attack but I think there are more people are giving a green light for Etherdelta because it is now back on Business.

Etherdelta isn't different from bittrex.com and binance.com, they're both had attacks recently and caused massive coins stolen on their watch so Etherdelta is now back on business and already fixed some issues as well.

Actually people that tried to transact on the Hackers phishing website (only lasted an hour or two) all were stolen from. He stole about 200-250 ETH. I feel as if 95% were unaffected though.

You work for EtherDelta...? It's a bad exchange, no way around that my friend.

Indeed, there's no coins were lost during the attack and I heard some news and articles that even their coins were frozen or some would say it was gone but after 48 hours they're all set and nothing was changed and developers are already fixed the issue so there's nothing to worry about because Etherdelta is now back into business.

It was already difficult to operate in Etherdelta. Now, this situation was very annoying. Belle becomes an opportunity for IDEX. Some investors come there and the stock market grows.

I moved most of my tokens off Etherdelta after I heard this, I think everyone's tokens are safe.  just ensure you are using the regular site.  The thing I don't like about Etherdelta is that it takes gas for any attempted buy... this is not fair, as they are making tonnes of ether from virtually no sale.  How can this be fair at all?  You miss out on a buy and it still charges you?  That is a flawed setup only benefiting Etherdelta.   

It seemed a bit fishy to me so i never used it. Better off trading on Binance and bittrex. With binance it is cheaper to trade simply by purchasing their binance coin and using that to cover the fees with a 50% discount ;D

This is very annoying. People are accumulating money saved by the money they earn. But it is also difficult to take measures. We need a stock exchange and deposit money there. I think they have to be guarantors.

I don’t think this is a problem that can’t be solved. Etherdelta is a big exchange website and it should be able to solve this problem without any investor loses any coin. Otherwise all investors will move to other exchanges.

I  have purchased  on Ether delta one  on weeks  ago to buy PRL coins   and I have logged in  with my private  key

My  firefo is not updated  but  it showed me  any  warning about  phishing  website scheme

I was  NOT  REDIRECTED to any other  etherdelta  similar website

Anyway I am  still warned cause  my  firefox  is not updated  and may have not detected  the  phishing website

Anyway  there has  bee  no redirection  

I'm using EtherDitten only when I'm trading with less known coins and for that purpose EtherDelta is ok for me.
I honestly never really liked the way how you're connected to their site. I think they should do the improvement here.
I'm usinh MetaMask plugin and wallet for this purpose only.

On twitter they said the exchange is back again, I have a few coin on ether delta and  I didnt lose anything yet, but i want to be more secure so I am going to withdraw all my coins on the exchange.

I tried in etherdelta earlier and it went good. All my coins are intact and I just withdrawn my token all and it went just back to normal. Yes maybe it is the best move to withdraw our all token to be safe.

Is it already possible to use this exchange? I decided to wait until Monday, I still worry, although all the coins are whole, looked through deltabalances.github.i

Can we return to EtherDelta? There is lack of communication since the hack? are the issues resolved? My coins are safe post-hack. I even withdrew my ether through MyEtherWallet.

DNS redirection can happen for every site every times. anytime in anywhere as you said. It's also called internet.

I was read an article that EtherDelta made the announcement in a series of tweets, warning users that a hacker had temporarily hijacked its DNS server, enabling the attacker to send users to a fake, malicious version of the site.
EtherDelta was said that users who accessed the exchange using either MetaMask or a hardware wallet are “completely safe” from the phishing attack. The company added that deposits from users who never imported their key on the fake version of the website “should be safe,” but traders may want to consider moving their funds to a new wallet address as a security measure — and reevaluate their decision to import their private keys directly into a website.

The problem has been resolved by etherdelta and everyone can used the dns safely and that will be directed to the real site of etherdelta. This such a small problem in the crypto but for those are judging about the decentralized thing of etherdelta and remember the amount still safe. But they are not even realizing it.

Etherdelta had been attacked and hacked before. It was hacked for the second time if I did not know in 6 months.
It's a serious problem. I do not think anyone will use it anymore...

Other cryptocurrency-related companies also suffered DNS hijacking attacks in the past year. For example, the website hijacking incidents of Classic Ether Wallet and the Etherparty ICO website are both suspected to be DNS hijacking events.
The above events happened in August and October i knowr,respectively, but security-related incidents took place at other cryptocurrency-related sites this month as well. For example, NiceHash, the world's largest cryptocurrency mining market said hackers stole over 4,700 Bitcoin (around $62 million) at the start of the month, while South Korean exchange YouBit (formerly Yapizon) shut down yesterday and filed for bankruptcy after getting hacked the second time this year.
With Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Monero prices going up, both phishing and DDoS extortion attacks have intensified this year.

You right it is a serious problem. but I never keep my tokens there. I use this exchange only as an exchanger.
I advise everyone to do the same
