Title: Hacked Exchanges since 2011 Post by: VB1001 on December 29, 2018, 12:28:05 PM - List of Hacked Exchanges, since 2011:
I would like to share this list of hacked exchanges, after viewing the data, consider how and where you store your Bitcoins. Several types of scams appear in different sources of news, theft or loss of BTC at the individual level. I prefer to focus on the hacking of exchanges which is what affects us all, but due to the importance of some Bitcoin thefts outside the exchanges, I will include the most important. If someone wants to publish their personal experience with any of these unpleasant situations, feel free to do so. Since 2011 have stolen millions of dollars from exchanges, account theft, security breaches, phishing, some recovered others filed for bankruptcy. The solution adopted by governments to improve security is to implement more stringent and regulatory policies. - This is a list exchanges hacked 2011/2018, - 2019 has been worse than the previous year. 2020 I have updated some data and renewed the presentation of the incidents of the exchanges, I have more references obtained from several sources, once contrasted with mine they give a wider result of exchanges that have suffered some type of attack, so the presentation is annual to have a more specific vision of each year. The sources are basically online portals and social networks that warn about hacked exchange, once verified it is included in the corresponding list of the year.

Before this thread, in the forum there was a thread with very detailed information, but it is no longer updated, I leave the link in case you want to visit it, maybe some information is useful for you.

You can also see the number of times they have been hacked per year. Code: Exchange Hacks/Year Hacks/Year Hacks/Year The amount of stolen Bitcoins is very high, it's a lot of money, some advices, do not enter into paranoid mode, just follow common sense:
- Last Updated official OS + Antivirus - Not download movies..., videos, games, compromised pages... - Clear browser cache. - Everything connected by cable, outside wireless keyboard, wireless mouse and wifi printer. - Activate 2FA + Backup (Exchange).
- Software: Bitcoin Core, download in official page, encrypt wallet.dat + backup. - Hardware: Buy in manufacturer's page, Trezor, Ledger, Keepkey, just install manufacturer firmware updates. - Paper: Paper Walet generate the offline address. - Cryptosteel: backup private key or seed. - All backups outside of the computer.
- Not accept links, mails, social networks to exchange, update wallets or firmware. - Attention to web addresses and domain extension. Title: Re: List Exchanges Hacked 2011/2018 Post by: darasinmi4show on December 29, 2018, 01:47:07 PM This is very bad, to here that exchanges are been hack by some set guy it very sad. However, my view by the exchanges hack is that most time that this happen some set of people that have access to the data base of the exchanges link those guys that hack the exchanges. Let everybody be careful this coming new year. Best of luck to all traders.
Title: Re: List Exchanges Hacked 2011/2018 Post by: Kang Bahar on December 29, 2018, 02:35:17 PM Code: Exchange Year Amount / Month After viewing the data, consider how and where you store your Bitcoins. I have never stored my assets on an exchange. Because I realized that cybercrime is in anywhere and can attack anyone.Before that happened to me, I anticipate it by buying Trezor hardware wallet and storing Bitcoin within it. Perhaps, the right way to keep Bitcoin safe is storing Bitcoin on hardware wallet like trezor and or ledger.

Im daytrader so i need to store my bitcoins on exchange but i withdraw profit every 0.2 btc. Title: Re: List Exchanges Hacked 2011/2018 Post by: aervin11 on December 29, 2018, 02:54:30 PM 500 mil $ hack in 2018? Damn. I dont know how I missed it. Thanks for sharing. Im daytrader so i need to store my bitcoins on exchange but i withdraw profit every 0.2 btc. 2018 is really a history itself. Not because it is about to end but because of the endless mischief that happens all throughout the year. Great profits, I wonder why you share that info ??? What's the point LOL Title: Re: List Exchanges Hacked 2011/2018 Post by: o_e_l_e_o on December 29, 2018, 04:15:06 PM I'm sure there are plenty more small hacks of major exchanges and hacks on small lesser known exchanges that go unreported. There are also probably quite a few scams in there that are reported as hacks - BitGrail for example. I haven't followed the story in several months, but last I checked it seemed like the owner exit scammed with millions of dollars worth of Nano, said that he had been "hacked" to try to avoid the law, and there was a class action lawsuit against him.
Still, the total of your listed hacks comes to over $1.3 billion, and so the real value is likely to be even higher than that. The only coins that you should store on an exchange are coins you are actively trading. Anything you are not trading, or buying to hold, should be immediately transferred out to a private (non-web) wallet. Title: Re: List Exchanges Hacked 2011/2018 Post by: Tytanowy Janusz on December 29, 2018, 04:46:57 PM Great profits, I wonder why you share that info ??? What's the point LOL Op said: Please, post your comment if you are affected by this unpleasant situation or how you solved it, of course, it can help a lot. As daytrader im affected a lot because i have to store my coins on exchange. I take a risk and withdrawing profit is a way to minimalize this risk. Thats why i shared this. And you can't say that this is great profit because i didnt say how often i'm withdrawing my profit. I only said that btc amount is indicator to withdraw. It might be once a year or once a day :) Title: Re: List Exchanges Hacked 2011/2018 Post by: justspare on December 29, 2018, 04:54:34 PM The real scary part is how the numbers increased like crazy at the end there. I mean we all remember when cryptsy and mt.gox got hacked and lost a bunch of bitcoins (well "hacked" but I think they have it) but in the end if you look just 2018 hacked places and how much they were hacked, it is just double the rest in on year probably.
It is really getting out of hand because hackers probably realized that they are literally taking money governments are not caring about so its getting easier for them to steal bitcoin, it would be a lot harder and riskier if they hacked people to get dollars but hacking for bitcoin is better for them. About 800 million dollars! was stolen this year, that is really crazy to think someone has that much crypto currencies as a person (or a group) and they got it scott free without any punishment. Title: Re: List Exchanges Hacked 2011/2018 Post by: Tytanowy Janusz on December 29, 2018, 06:36:26 PM It is really getting out of hand because hackers probably realized that they are literally taking money governments are not caring about so its getting easier for them to steal bitcoin, it would be a lot harder and riskier if they hacked people to get dollars but hacking for bitcoin is better for them. Its not the only reason why they are stealing bitcoins. Its easier for them because crypto exchanges has weaker security, U can easily make them disappear - (transfer to new exchange, buy monero (private untrackable coin than even FBI wasnt able to track) for it, tranfer to monero wallet, to next monero wallet, back to another exchange, sell for bitcoin, withdraw bitcoins). And you have bitcoins on your wallet that noone know from where they are. While stealing USD from bank account you need to transfer them to your bank account where you gave ID to create it (I didnt see anywhere bank that didnt need ID to create account). It is also easy to steel bitcoin from detail users because lots of them dont know the technology, how to store or even transfer coins. I heard that more than 10% airdrop participants give in forms etherum private key instead of public ... lol ... and then they loose coins and say "i was hacked". Title: Re: List Exchanges Hacked 2011/2018 Post by: gentlemand on December 29, 2018, 08:04:13 PM People in the know should give a bit more information about each individual hack if they know some background. People may learn from it.
For instance the $500 million Coincheck hack was down to the exchange operators keeping ALL of the stolen funds in a hot wallet. Literally none was elsewhere. XEM was the currency stolen. XEM has multi sig actually built into its blockchain. It costs nothing, it's a piece of piss to implement, it would've made this hack impossible, yet they chose not to do it. Even if they couldn't be arsed to do that, had they spent $100 on one Trezor this hack would not have been possible. That's the calibre of people operating exchanges. 80% of the money stolen was their own. The customers got paid back. And folks should be made aware of Bter. That is now Gate.io. Bter claimed to have had their hosting compromised and then resolved to pay back customers the 7000 or so BTC nicked with some sort of token funded through trading fees. They eventually got bored of that, gave up and were miraculously reborn as gate.io. Presumably the same people are still running it. Title: Re: List Exchanges Hacked 2011/2018 Post by: vit05 on December 29, 2018, 08:22:12 PM Was binance hacked? I remember that there was some doubt as to what had actually happened. But many consider that it had been hacked and some users lost a lot of money. There was Syscoin, too.

I didn't know that Coincheck was the first one to go on the top list of biggest stolen cryptocurrency in the world and now MtGox is in the second place. Some of these exchanges has a very low security of storing their tokens on a secure wallet. That's why it is too easy to hack most of them. I wonder what would the thief could do to that stolen tokens if it is being listed on the watch list.
Title: Re: List Exchanges Hacked 2011/2018 Post by: Dondont on December 29, 2018, 10:38:16 PM to be honest, I never knew that Mt Gox was an exchange, because I thought it was like a Financial Institution. And more surprisingly, the record of Mt Gox in terms of hacking is truly astounding. Have those who have been in it never learned about the importance of security exchange that must be truly fulfilled? very sad for victims of hacking the exchange above.

Have those who have been in it never learned about the importance of security exchange that must be truly fulfilled? very sad for victims of hacking the exchange above. When it comes to convenience and volume, ie greed, people are only too happy to throw their doubts away. Gox was still recommended on the main Bitcoin sites when I first got properly interested in 2013. I spent five minutes researching it - hacked before, passwords revealed in the browser address bar, shutdowns and rollbacks, unregulated in a country thousands of miles from me, who's the guy on the beach ball? - and I went straight to Localbitcoins instead.

Have those who have been in it never learned about the importance of security exchange that must be truly fulfilled? very sad for victims of hacking the exchange above. Mt. Gox is a popular exchange before, some insinuating that its an inside job. Exchanges are target of hackers nowadays since it handles bigger volumes. Investment on online security is a must for this exchanges so that it can win trusts from its clients. Title: Re: List Exchanges Hacked 2011/2018 Post by: perla on December 30, 2018, 02:03:57 AM From all that list it means someone who said if we put our money on exchanger, that means we not have control for it anymore. Maybe that is what people want to said, maybe it is bad if we put all our money in exchanger.
Title: Re: List Exchanges Hacked 2011/2018 Post by: Majormax on December 30, 2018, 02:21:58 AM Code: Exchange Year Amount / Month After viewing the data, consider how and where you store your Bitcoins.

Perhaps, the right way to keep Bitcoin safe is storing Bitcoin on hardware wallet like trezor and or ledger. Poloniex was a textbook example of how to proceed. The owner at the time (Tristan) sent out messages explaining the situation. The lost coin for each user was shown in the dashboards, but not accessable. Eventual repayment was promised, and this was done in small increments, as and when profits allowed. Not sure, but I think the total was greater than the 64k quoted. Thus, the exchange continued to trade and was solvent, whilst establishing a trustworthy reputation.. Title: Re: List Exchanges Hacked 2011/2018 Post by: lenovop-70 on December 30, 2018, 06:38:36 AM I see may exchange were hacked above, even poloniex hacked too.
Do you think this hacking problems will happen again next years ? if yes we must warn the exchanger dev's to make us comfy while we leave our money inside. I am not big trader in the big market, but loosing money by hacked is hurt than you feel. Title: Re: List Exchanges Hacked 2011/2018 Post by: fiomcorka on December 30, 2018, 07:05:38 AM I’m really surprised to see that some exchanges are showing up more than twice on the list 😣🤥. So they get hacked and they never bother to check on how it all happened and also fixing their website and increasing their security. This is why anyone shouldn’t store their coins on exchanges,, they are a big risk. Really bad.
Title: Re: List Exchanges Hacked 2011/2018 Post by: Kemarit on December 30, 2018, 07:56:06 AM Definitely, it can grow even more in the next coming years. Those exchanges really need to understand that hackers are like always one step of the game. So exchanges really need to tighten up otherwise every hackers will find some exploit and then BOOM, traders money is gone in an instant. Although it's good to know that hackers do lost the game last year as well. ;D

I know wasn't a hack and wasn't an exchanger, but at the end looks like the same, :P
By the way, thanks to adding the amount in btc, now the list looks awesome, and as i told you in the Spanish thread, Mt.Gox is in the first place, we have a winner!

It will be very interesting to know more about those hacks coming from users directly or indirectly affected. While not exactly a hack... I got affected by the MtGOX one. I say it was not exactly a hack because it was a combination of negligence and several different incidents along many years, being negligence probably the main factor. Five years later, I am waiting to recover some from the civil rehabilitation. It is estimated that it will be around 20-25% of my bitcoins. The reasons I considered it was worth the risk to use Mtgox are the following: - I was a very high frequency day trader at that time that took advantage of the violent volatility of that times and the delay (a few seconds) in the "propagation" between different exchanges. - I had almost all of my BTC on exchanges because I was trading with it all. Didn't really had that much anyways. - I considered having it all on a single exchange was too high of a risk (true) so instead of having it all on Bitstamp I had an almost equal amount on Mtgox too. - I was of the idea that if something happened to Mtgox (being more or less the main exchange) Bitcoin would be so severely impacted that the less of the problem would be to lose my Bitcoins there. While that made some sense I probably overestimated the impact or underestimated the bitcoin capacity to recover from it. So it is not that I didn't knew the risks... It's just that I considered at the time that it was a reasonable risk to assume. When the exchange went belly up (but trading kept running with prices going really low) I even did a final bet and sent a deposit of fiat. The "bet" was that if I could buy there at those extremely low prices it would compensate the possible loss and otherwise I could probably recover that fiat because it would be a fraud to touch it if the exchange was already bankrupt. It seemed to me it was a reasonable asymmetrical bet to do. The problem is that it was just a couple of days before MtGOX stopped trading altogether so my transfer was never reflected in my balance. I could never rescue the transfer. I didn't even claim it from the bankruptcy trustee because I thought, not being reflected in the balance, it could lower the chance of my main claim (the bitcoins) to be approved. It's a pity because in the end I could have probably recovered the full fiat amount plus interests. Now I think I maybe should have claimed it... but probably it wouldn't have been approved anyways... So it is not a big regret. The claim over my BTC balance was approved. Anyone in the same situation claimed those last minute fiat deposits not reflected in the balance? Was your claim approved or rejected? Would like to know. Nowadays my trading activity has been greatly reduced and I only have around 10% of my total stash in exchanges. All the rest is in a combination of hardware wallets. Title: Re: List Exchanges Hacked 2011/2018 Post by: gentlemand on December 30, 2018, 11:53:56 PM Anyone in the same situation claimed those last minute fiat deposits not reflected in the balance?

I'm not totally sure if there's a word for this particular example. I remember the brewing disbelief at the time and more than a few people claiming it was 'too big to fail'. If only. Title: Re: List Exchanges Hacked 2011/2018 Post by: bitserve on December 31, 2018, 12:15:09 AM Anyone in the same situation claimed those last minute fiat deposits not reflected in the balance?

I'm not totally sure if there's a word for this particular example. I remember the brewing disbelief at the time and more than a few people claiming it was 'too big to fail'. If only. Yeah, I had heard about TheKoziTwo doing that lol No, IIRC in the end I only sent like $800 (which could have bought me another 5 or 6 BTC). Considered sending (not much) more but finally decided to go for an amount I could perfectly (a bit annoying as each and every lost) see gone. I saw an "opportunity" and tried to catch it. Who knows maybe for the TheKoziTwo that amount was the equivalent of the $800 for me. I still think it was a reasonable bet to make with the information I had at that moment. Sometimes you win, sometimes you lose. P.S.: Did TheKoziTwo had his claim approved? Considering the amount I am sure he at least claimed and fight for it to be recognised. P.S.2: I see it was an OkPay transfer so maybe: - He could claim it to OkPay. - or it was reflected in MtGox balance, in which case he will probably recover the full ammount plus a nice yearly 6% interest (over five fucking years!) - or maybe he even had time to buy BTC at those lower prices and even at 20-25% he made a good chunk. So maybe in this case "being that guy" is not that bad in the end ;) Title: Re: List Exchanges Hacked 2011/2018 Post by: Majormax on December 31, 2018, 12:30:29 AM It would be interesting to see a division into the types of events which accompanied these 'hacks', and whether or not the exchanges survived, or the customers ever recovered their money.
I have lost amounts in Cryptsy, Cryptorush, Mintpal (and a few others) each of which were a total write off. From some others I managed to extract most of my funds but had to trade between coins to get withdrawals through. Trading between coins is not my aim as I was simply investing and holding. I ended up with a lot more alts, which I didn't bother to exchange back to BTC. Bitcoinica and Poloniex refunded all clients. I think there a quite a few to add the the op list. One great inconvenience for traders is not being able to access any records from the lost exchanges. Title: Re: List Exchanges Hacked 2011/2018 Post by: gentlemand on December 31, 2018, 12:36:58 AM P.S.: Did TheKoziTwo had his claim approved?

I mentioned it to him this year - https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2181023.msg43107586#msg43107586 Not totally sure what his answer consisted of but he seemed sanguine enough. Indeed he was considering doing something similar with Wex. Everyone has differing appetites for masochism I suppose.

It would be *VERY* interesting for sure.

I can say that it is just as well there is a lack of records in closed exchanges. It is uncomfortable to look back on the losses, especially what they could be worth now ! I will try and put some info together from memory. Title: Re: List Exchanges Hacked 2011/2018 Post by: VB1001 on December 31, 2018, 10:02:58 AM Yes, talking about this situation in public is hard and I understand that in some cases it is difficult to comment on your experience, but if you decide to publish it, it is very useful for everyone.

The process is to find the correct information, web, forums, social media, check it and verify it. It's true not all exchanges hacked, but all the information of dates, years, amount stolen and currency type of a pirated exchange have differences, in some web pages there is a quantity and in another the data are different. The interesting thing is to have quantities and dates of stolen BTCs sufficiently contrasted, to offer real information.

That is 1.5 BILLION DOLLARS.
Exchanges really need to up their security measures by a whole lot but the problem with hackers is that no matter what you do to prevent they will find a new way, if you defend that they will move onto a new way, they will not stop inventing a new way to hack into the exchanges even though exchanges cover all possible corners. 865 million of that (more than half) was in 2018, we saw how much increase there was in interest to crypto in 2017 which lead to a lot more new exchanges and some of that started out very quickly to gather the money from the hype and didn't finish the website with quality so they got hacked. Its really a shame all that money went to hackers instead of people who really needed it.

The very fact that their shareholders and customers wouldn't be impressed if something like that ever happened, makes it way more likely to have Coinbase not publicly share that they have been hacked and coins were lost.

The fact is that when a hack action occurs, the price of cryptocurrencies automatically decreases, this is the impact of the many people who feel worried when they have digital assets. Hopefully in the next year things will be much more, security features must be improved and we must be smart in choosing exchanges that have the best reputation level.

Title: Re: List Exchanges Hacked 2011/2018 Post by: faceoff97 on January 04, 2019, 03:20:54 PM its best not to make any exchange storage of coins with this cases. After trading, it is really a must to transfer in a safe Wallet or hardware wallet. If you can't afford hardware wallet, opensource software would be best choice. I'm okay with electrum for Bitcoin and HODLER for altcoin.

“As a result of this intrusion, affected users have noticed some changes to their accounts such as the conversion of their cryptocurrencies and/or the acquisition of additional cryptocurrencies through already held US dollar balances,” said The Golix team. https://www.eyetrodigital.com/zims-cryptocurrency-exchange-platform-golix-hacked/ There is only this news, if they confirm the theft, I will add it to the list, it is the 1st of 2019 >:( Title: Re: List Exchanges Hacked 2011/2018 Post by: o_e_l_e_o on January 05, 2019, 02:48:36 PM The only way for anyone to notice that they don't have enough coins to have every user/customer withdraw, is to have everyone withdraw at the same time, which won't ever happen so they are safe basically for ever. Even back in December, when Coinbase's cold storage addresses were being emptied and all the funds moved around (to new cold storage, as it turns out), all the FUD and panic posts on here and reddit were about this being a whale moving their coins to an exchange in preparation to dump them, even though that was provably not the case. I didn't see a single post raising the possibility of "could this mean Coinbase has been hacked?". So even when their cold storage of 600k empties, people don't even think about them being hacked. No one is going to notice if they lost a few hundred or even a few thousand BTC in a small hack, and as you say, they definitely wouldn't advertise it. Although maybe if there was a small public hack, it might wake some people up enough for them to actually withdraw their coins and store them securely, instead of trusting a random third party. Title: Re: List Exchanges Hacked 2011/2018 Post by: LeGaulois on January 05, 2019, 04:29:14 PM People overestimate coinbase.

No matter how much security is taken, there will always be hackers and they will continue their work and what we need to do is educate everyone about how to care about own self on cybersecurity.

For exchanges, it's a profitable business but it's the reputation is their capital to continue to progressively exist, and they have to take care of it by improving their internal control.Japanese Regulators Grant Cryptocurrency Exchange License to Coincheck "Since the interim period, developers have slowly returned functionality to users and organized refunds of stolen coins." https://cointelegraph.com/news/japanese-regulators-grant-cryptocurrency-exchange-license-to-coincheck (https://cointelegraph.com/news/japanese-regulators-grant-cryptocurrency-exchange-license-to-coincheck) Goo news here.

An exchange isn't the right place to store your coins, store the minimum Title: Re: List Exchanges Hacked 2011 / 2019 Post by: el kaka22 on January 17, 2019, 02:42:04 PM Seriously it is so weird that even before this post got to a lot of messages we had another hacking. I mean what does these websites do for security ? I mean I know hackers are getting better and better everyday and whenever you defend some way of hacking they find another way of hacking but you really need to consider cold wallet as a big number versus hot wallet.
Even bitcointalk got hacked at one point through the avatars we had, think about how canny you had to be at hacking to figure out how to hack someone from your avatar. Hence, I understand difficulty of not getting hacked but even if hacking is unavoidable than find a way to minimize the losses in a hacking attempt, just protect as much as you can while giving them something to say they hacked it. That way they will have some small hot wallet amount whereas you protect most of the coins.

There will be an impact but it's not huge for sure, cryptopia is not a big exchange so this will not significantly affect investors in the entire crypto world. Frankly, idk why exchanges look so weak even though there are already several bad examples from the past. Small exchanges are most likely susceptible to hacking because their system is weak, and that's the reason why they did not improve despite existing already in the market. I also have deposit on that site but I don't put a lot as I know someday things like this might happen. With this news, it's a lesson for everyone not to trust our money to small exchange, instead put it on big exchanges as they have better security.

You talking about Bitomat? Quote On 26 July 2011 at about 11:00 PM, I noticed that bitcoin server was out of resources and I had to increase RAM. As a result of this operation, the virtual machine was deleted and all data lost, including bitcoin wallet and its backups. I have established that data was lost because settings of the virtual machine were changed, although I didn’t change them myself. Amazon Web Services Company, which hosts our servers, says that the cleared machine has been set up to be irretrievably destroyed (including the data on the disks) at the shutdown. I’m still trying to establish who has changed the settings and whether I will be able to recover the lost data. Unfortunately cooperation with Amazon Web Services is very difficult. As soon as I realized that my virtual machine was lost I have ordered AWS premium support, talked to the manager and asked for securing of the disk data. So far, without success. https://siliconangle.com/2011/08/01/third-largest-bitcoin-exchange-bitomat-lost-their-wallet-over-17000-bitcoins-missing/ I think what happened was another exchange, might of been MtGox ended up covering the deposits and took over their exchange.

Easier said than done. Smaller exchanges list all the shitcoins larger exchanges don't want to list, so there is always an incentive for people to keep using smaller exchanges, shady or not.If you also add that larger exchanges will more and more subject their users to KYC/AML requirements, people will have even more incentive to use smaller exchanges, because they don't ask for personal information. History tells us that after so many hacks and inside jobs, people here will keep making the same mistakes over and over again. It's greed that rules here, which we have to accept unfortunately....

I would like to share this list of pirated exchanges. After viewing the data, consider how and where you store your Bitcoins. Since 2011 have stolen millions of dollars from exchanges, account theft, security breaches, phishing, some recovered others filed for bankruptcy. The solution adopted by governments to improve security is to implement more stringent and regulatory policies. This is a list exchanges hacked 2011/2018, I hope I do not have to update this year.

Yes, end of the year is just like nightmare for exchanges and also the player. I believe many excahnges with the same problems will comes up and it will make confuse to start new beginning.

Dear Users, Recently, we were happy to announce the change in our policies. We gave you the right to decide whether you want to be with us in our Crypto Exchange journey by accepting the changes. Much to our regret, after this step Liqui is no longer able to provide liquidity for the Users left. We also do not see any economic point in providing you with our services. However, we do not want to return to where we were a month ago. Hence, we decided to close all accounts and stop providing our services. It broke our hearts to do that. You will be able to withdraw your Digital Assets through our website within 30 days after this message was sent. If you did not withdraw delisted Digital Assets since we announced changes in our policies, you will also have another 30 days from the date this message is sent. After 30 days we cannot guarantee that we will be maintaining our website. In this case, all withdrawals will be processed through our support @liqui.freshdesk.com until the last user store his assets with us. Note that our Terms of Use will apply until you have your more than zero balance in our wallets. If we do not provide services we cannot store your assets for free, so the fee will apply if you fail to withdraw in accordance with our Terms of Use. We may be back soon. However, that depends on the market which has significantly changed since 2017. We do not know what else to say but say thank you for supporting the cryptocurrency community and your faith in us.

Title: Re: List Exchanges Hacked 2011 / 2019 Post by: VB1001 on February 03, 2019, 04:52:18 PM Good question!
Thx The most important thing to find the information has been to check the data in many pages, online newspapers, social networks, forums and see that all the numbers, dates of the hacking are the same, to ensure that they are true. News Mt.Gox Coinlab’s Mt.Gox Claim Jumps From $75m to $16 Billion, Freezing Restitution Evidence has recently come out that CoinLab, former business partner of the infamous Mt.Gox bitcoin exchange, has increased the amount of a years old lawsuit claim against the exchange from $75 million to an astonishing $16 billion making it ever more unlikely that burned former Mt.Gox users will ever get their money back. CoinLab’s $75 million claim - later increased to $150 million - was already holding up repayment as it was. The new claim of $16 billion has come as a complete shock. https://www.cryptoglobe.com/latest/2019/02/coinlabs-mt-gox-claim-jumps-from-75m-to-16-billion-freezing-restitution/ (https://www.cryptoglobe.com/latest/2019/02/coinlabs-mt-gox-claim-jumps-from-75m-to-16-billion-freezing-restitution/) Title: Re: List Exchanges Hacked 2011 / 2019 Post by: raven7886 on February 04, 2019, 01:53:27 PM These things are getting out of hand and since bitcoin is something untraceable for someone who knows what they are doing, there is really no way of knowing who stole what. Hence the hacks will continue, when someone hacks a fiat thing usually you can trace the money somehow even when its cash you can trace the numbers on the cash.
Still, when it is crypto its really difficult since there are bitcoin mixers and all that which helps the hackers get the bitcoin to their wallet without leading anyone to their cove. I doubt we will have an end to this hacking thing, I don't think there is a way to actually stop hackers, no matter what kind of protection you make against them they will find a new and better way to hack the websites and exchanges to get the money from them.

Only send them to exchanges to sell at the right time to take profits. After sell orders filled all, I should (I actually usually do this) withdraw all money to my own wallet. I strongly think that it is much safer approach, even the Binance CEO stated that he suggested to store coins/ money on prestigious exchanges. Title: Re: List Exchanges Hacked 2011 / 2019 Post by: herurist on February 11, 2019, 08:20:16 AM That's why saving our asset into exchanges is bad idea, exchanges is the right place to buy/ sell ( exchanges ) only not for saving. This time only wallet is the safest place to protect our asset from hack, as long never share device/ network and always check address link before clicking your asset will safe, trust me.

I know the topic is hacking so it could be good right now but when it comes to people knowing how much bitcoin you have that could potentially change your opinion.
There was a group (a security firm I think) that actually followed all that money into which address' it went to and actually found the hackers bitcoin wallet address, that is great for following up and if that bitcoin address is attached to some exchange to cash out to fiat they could actually contact at least the most famous exchanges and see if they had it and with KYC they could potentially identify the hacker. Now, that is a very long and tiring work but after all it could be definitely done to say the least. If they can manage it then it would change the shape of crypto currency forever both by less hacks but also less privacy.

as i read in this articles about the QuadrigaCX CEO Died in India (https://www.coindesk.com/indian-death-certificate-crypto-exchange-quadrigacx-death), so that means the owner not disappear but the owner died because of complications from Crohn’s disease Title: Re: List Exchanges Hacked 2011 / 2019 Post by: erikalui on May 15, 2019, 07:11:20 PM Do you add local exchanges too?

Quote Hackers from North Korea were behind a phishing scam targeting users of South Korean cryptocurrency exchange UpBit, Korean-language cryptocurrency news outlet CoinDesk Korea reported on May 29. According to findings by local cybersecurity firm East Security, the scam came in the form of an email sent to UpBit users requesting account information. The pretence was a fake giveaway, with the emails also containing a file called “Event Winner Personal Information Collection and Usage Agreement.hwp,” which would run malicious code when opened. https://cointelegraph.com/news/upbit-exchange-phishing-email-scam-came-from-north-korea-source-claims (https://cointelegraph.com/news/upbit-exchange-phishing-email-scam-came-from-north-korea-source-claims) This will never end, every day more phishing, scams, thefts ... and with Bitcoin increasing the price, more exposed. - Check the web address of the exchange before entering your data. - Update passwords regularly. - Do not open suspicious mail.

Money.pl received an email from one of its readers, who stated that Coinroom — which was registered in 2016 — ceased operations overnight and disappeared with customers’ money in April. Some users say they had up to 60,000 zloty (around $15,790) in their accounts. Before ceasing its operations, Coinroom reportedly sent emails to its customers, containing information about contract terminations. Coiroom customers had only one day to withdraw their money, which was in accordance with Coinroom regulations signed by users.

I'm sure they felt they'd put all the necessary measures in place already. And then it happened. The only time users will care about further hacks is whether it costs them money a la Bitfinex. Bitfinex are psychopaths and their customers are indoctrinated into a cult so that's to be expected. I don't think Binance customers would take so kindly to being forced to pay for their mistakes.

Probably bookmarking, remembering the domain(.com, .org, .ph and etc), being aware on news about the exchange might help and secure yourself from phishing sites. Why do you think so? Doesn't installing paid antivirus reduce the risk of virus threats?When using the Windows operating system, I installed the Mcaffe Internet Security paid antivirus on my laptop.

We will inform you about further steps.” https://cointelegraph.com/news/polish-crypto-exchange-bitmarket-shuts-down-citing-liquidity-loss (https://cointelegraph.com/news/polish-crypto-exchange-bitmarket-shuts-down-citing-liquidity-loss) Title: Re: List Exchanges Hacked 2011 / 2019 Post by: MinMan on July 10, 2019, 07:37:32 AM The way I see it, it seems that the regulated exchanges are more safe than the exchanges that are not regulated, or am I wrong? Because from the list we have here, I didn’t see any regulated exchange on the list. I don’t really know for sure, but mainly what I am seeing is exchanges that are not being regulated. Binance is not fully regulated, and it was hacked recently… Coinbase is being regulated and it is very safe and well secured. Even from the way the login works, I haven’t seen any other exchanges that works that way.

Since 2011 have stolen millions of dollars from exchanges, account theft, security breaches, phishing, some recovered others filed for bankruptcy.

I am long been concerned by exchanges, and In my monthly recap I have been telling they are the weakest link on the bitcoin ecosystem. At a local Bitcoin conference I recently spoke to a “Binance Angel” (sort of binance marketing guy) who told me they were quite explicit on their hack: they disciples the maximum possible information as they think that would help other Exchange. In my opinion this is only half of the truth as they know there aren’t many exchanges out there with the scale for having a decent security, liquidity and legal operation the customers and regulators are expecting from exchanges in 2019. So probably we are going to see a massive push for “Darwinist extinction” of small exchanges, with specs for only 3/4 global players. This until traditional incumbent decide to enter the space (like Bakkt). Maybe I have been drifting slightly OT... Title: Re: List Exchanges Hacked 2011 / 2019 Post by: Tim1996 on July 14, 2019, 07:47:20 AM Yesterday i read a Japanese exchange has been hacked with 32 Mil usd worth of Bitcoins. That is too much.

Title: Re: List Exchanges Hacked 2011 / 2019 Post by: CryptopreneurBrainboss on July 14, 2019, 08:02:34 AM Please, post your comment if you are affected by this unpleasant situation Till date I haven't been affected by any of the exchange hacking incident although I have used almost all the exchange that have been hacked at one point in time. The secret is already highlighted in the OP above and sang everyday by the community but my individuals seems to ignore that advice. (Not your key, not your coin). Exchanges should only be used for trading & not for holding your assets. As for a solution, I don't think there's any currently, the only way to minimize the impact is by having a set aside fund to cover up any damages when it occurs just as Binance did. Also a weekly audit of the exchange to search for flaw which hacker can take advantage of might also help. The thing is, all centralized system (exchanges) are liable to hack & if your decentralized exchange gets hacked then it was not decentralized enough unless it has to do with phishing.

Exchange hack can't be foreseen but it's always advised not to keep your funds in an exchange. Some exchanges are already working with top tech security company to help give a better security to their exchange which is a good move.

Though exchanges give their best in order to make their clients or traders happy. They want traders to have sufficient grounds in order to be profitable, yet hackers are collecting money from the hardworks of others. Shame to them.

Exchanges are easy target for the hackers and exchanges should really take their security seriously if they want to build a solid reputation long term.

Title: Re: Hacked Exchanges since 2011 Post by: Dabs on January 25, 2020, 09:42:45 PM One of your posts (second one) includes only Bitcoin Core as software. I think some other wallets could be included as part of that list, namely Electrum, latest version, downloaded from official website, verified signature and file hash. Also Electrum for Android since it's the same except for mobile phones / tablets. Might as well mention Bitcoin Wallet for Android.
With a note that, do not download any updates except from official website or Google Play store. There was a recent phishing attempt, but it has been fixed by preventing showing links in server messages. Still, no one would have gotten their coins stolen if they only checked the official websites and not clicked on a pop up message.

I thought about including scams or vulnerabilities of the wallets, but I think it is better to focus the thread only in the exchanges, but if there is any important news on this subject, it can also be published in the thread.

If you wish to save yourself from a possible hack and losing funds you have on some exchange you can do only two things, withdraw your funds when you finish with trading or use a decentralized exchange. Withdrawing funds after trading can be expensive, fees are high! Decentralized exchanges are slow with their low volumes.

Title: Re: Hacked Exchanges since 2011 Post by: The Sceptical Chymist on February 04, 2020, 04:02:58 PM Jesus, I've been around long enough to know there were quite a few exchanges that got hacked but I apparently missed this thread and didn't realize there were so many.
Sometimes I've wondered whether some of these so-called hacks were real, or if they were cases of exchange employees pulling inside jobs and stealing funds. That's what happened in Cryptsy's case if I'm not mistaken, and in any case if you're an exchange, claiming you got hacked provides the perfect cover for an exit scam. I have no doubt real hackers try their hardest to steal coins from exchanges, but you'd think that in such a tech-oriented business these exchanges would know a thing or two about security. I don't do much trading, but I do still buy some altcoins occasionally and even though I trust the exchange I typically use, there's no way in hell I'd keep coins on it for more than a day. It causes me anxiety to do so, I kid you not. Title: Re: Hacked Exchanges since 2011 Post by: VB1001 on February 04, 2020, 04:32:23 PM It causes me anxiety to do so, I kid you not. It's true, you only have this feeling when you really know what can happen at any time. And even if their exchange is not pirated, they can also close it and disappear forever.

Let's avoid storing funds in exchanges, exchanges should solely be for trading, funds should be stored in non-custodian wallet. Fortunately some good wallets support Multi-assets and exchanges, few like exodus, trust, atomic. More coins have likely been lost in users' own wallets than at exchanges. For people that aren't highly knowledgeable, I think storing coins on a reputable, regulated exchange is preferable. Of course, most of the coins over the years have been lost by highly knowledgeable people - early users. Storing your coins yourself also involves physical security. Protecting your storage device, as cryptocurrency-specific storage devices have notoriously poor physical security. And of course protecting your seed.

I'm sure DEX's will be the answer to our prayers eventually, as a REAL DEX cannot be hacked, 100% trustless and permissionless, which is making it very appealing. The problem with most DEX's is: Speed, and Liquidity. Stakenet's Lightning Network compatible DEX solves both of these issues. Trading through the Lightning Network reduces fees, and makes trading happen pretty much instantly, furthermore their "DEX Aggragator" will combine multiple DEX orderbooks together and provide a TON on liquidity.

I mean I get it, I love the decentralization in bitcoin but at the same time bitcoin can do it and it is against hacking as well and its quite good at being one, yet exchanges who are disliking and dismissing the centralized exchanges like binance should be capable of holding the funds there, if you are not capable of "not getting hacked", I am sorry but it is obvious why people would prefer binance or any other centralized company over the defi ones easily.

That is like the best type of friendship you could find in the exchange world, Binance knows how hard it is to run an exchange so they are making friends with the other exchanges instead of being rivals.
Think about it, it is quite easy to just keep the money because you want some other exchange to bankrupt, they are your rival after all and it doesn't make sense to help them out financially, they will be doing better thanks to your move and be your competition. In face of all of that actually helping out and being friendly worths a lot. CZ was always the reason why I prefer binance, dude basically is the epitome of a successful crypto person.

Well, exchanges were never ment to be wallets and people very often use them to.stores their coins there. Of course they are attractive to hackers, usually they are easy money and until recently exchanges didn't care too much about security. I have a feeling that situation has slightly improved but still you shouldn't store your coins there, except the amount you wish to trade. Exchanges will always be hacker's targets as well as banks will be always robbed by robbers. The only question is how much we can do to protect ourselves and customer policy that each exchange.has is also very important. Title: Re: Hacked Exchanges since 2011 Post by: Subbir on May 19, 2020, 02:50:58 PM Most of the exchange sites within the crypto market are new and therefore the number of hackers is increasing That's why I exploit the Trusted Wallet to secure my crypto. No hacker can steal using the 2fa code to guard his wallet. this may keep our assets safe and make transactions much easier KYC sites are hacked more when exchanging. Hack exchange sites invite KYC and keep exchanging new links in order that they don't steal all our data Banks work for his or her own benefit.

According to posts on social media, the attack seems to have happened on the night between December 23 and December 24. Hackers appear to have taken control of the Livecoin infrastructure and then proceeded to modify the exchange rates to gigantic and unrealistic values.

This is huge hit on them, Quote Dear EXMO users, We have spotted some large withdrawals since December 21st at 2:27:02 UTC. We are still investigating the incident, but as of now, the security audit report showed that some amounts of BTC, XRP, ZEC, USDT, ETC and ETH in EXMO’s hot wallets were transferred out of the exchange. We reacted immediately and re-deployed hot wallets. The affected hot wallets comprise near 5% of the total assets. Let us stress that all the assets in the cold wallets are safe.

Title: Re: Hacked Exchanges since 2011 Post by: vaultman on December 28, 2020, 04:51:03 PM I think that the hacking of the MtGox exchange in 2011 most strongly influenced the future fate of bitcoin. Many then abandoned cryptocurrency due to the fact that it is unreliable, like exchanges, thereby reducing the price of bitcoin. I think that in general, all exchange hacks influenced the opinion of people about cryptocurrencies in general. If exchange owners were more responsive to the issue of cybersecurity, then now cryptocurrencies would be more popular among people.

If I am not wrong they reported an hack of roughly 300 ETH back in November. They even pressed charges with the Italian Police about it. Then as far as the current event are concerned, nothing is certain yet, but there is a certain chance of an hack. We will report about that when we know it. |
