South Korean cryptocurrency exchange Bithumb has conducted a professional external audit of its funds after a major hack last month, the company confirmed in a statement on April 11.

Bithumb, South Korea’s largest exchange, lost around 14 billion won ($13 million) two weeks ago in an event executives believe was masterminded by an insider.

Now, Bithumb has used a third party to assess its reserves, repeating its previous assurances that customer funds remained safe in cold storage wallets.

The 14 billion of hacked EOS (EOS) tokens, a previous statement said, represented company-only funds. All remaining funds in its hot wallet were moved to cold storage following the loss.

San Francisco-based blockchain project Thor Token is shutting down as the project “was not able to gain traction and achieve commercial success.” The news was announced by co-founder and CEO at Thor, David Chin on April 9.

Thor — which was built on Neo (NEO) — has announced it is closing its doors as it reportedly could not manage to raise enough capital to come up against the lack of sales, as well as find a new place where it could benefit from more resources.

Chin revealed in the post that the company has been trying to find the right person or entity to hand over the Thor project in order to let it continue, however it has not been able to find one for an acquisition at this time.

[Precautions]

Real hackers don't hack people accounts, hacking people accounts is basically the work of script kiddies. So, they usually do so by Eavesdropping the network and using password snippers as well, such as wireshark, sslstrip, and subterfuge. Sometimes they used what is called session hijacking technique for less secure browsers (older versions) and change user's email and password.

Precautions
- Google Chrome browser is highly recommended. (it's the most secure browser out there)
- Update your browser all the time to avoid the latest vulnerability known as zero days.
- Use the following browser add-ons to stay more secure (fully compatible with other browsers as well).

- Ghoshery
- Adblock Plus
- HTTP everywhere
- Privacy Badger

I saw many people were complaining about their accounts been hacked that is why I decided to create this little guide to help others secure their accounts and online activities.

If you have a secure VPN - that's A+ don't forget to use it all the time.

If you have more ideas on how people can protect their accounts feel free to contribute. Thanks.
