I VE BEEN HACKED ON MY BITTREX ACCOUNT, PROBABLY VIA API.
IVE BEEN DOING COST AVERAGE ON OK FOR A WHILE NOW, I HAD AROUND 3.8 MILL
TODAY IM ARRIVING AT MY ACCOUNT AFTER CHRISTMAS PARTY TO FIND OUT ALL MY ACCOUNT GOT HACKED AND SOLD AROUND 16 HRS AGO!!
HACKER SOLD ALL MY OKCASH IN ONE HIT, DUMPING THE MARKET AND A FEW OTHER COINS I HAD, AND HACKER BOUGHT A SKL COIN 1000% HIGH, SO THEY DRAINED MY ACCOUNT!!!
I AM SHARING SO YOU DONT KEEP COINS ON EXCHANGES, MY MISTAKE WAS TO KEEP MY COINS IN THE EXCHANGE
IT SUCKS, I LOVE OK, I WILL HAVE TO START DOING COST AVERAGE AGAIN , BUT I CANT BLAME NO OTHER THAN MYSELF FOR KEEPING COINS IN EXCHANGES.
I FEEL VERY BAD, JUST YESTERDAY I WAS THINKING IN SENDING IT TO STAKE, PROBABLY 6TH SENSE, BUT I DID NOT SO NOW IM JUST ANOTHER VICTIM OF HACKING.
I LOVE THE OK COMMUNITY AND THE GUYS ON THE DISCORD, HENCE WHY I AM SHARING MY EXPERIENCE.
KEEP YOUR COINS SAFE, DO NOT TRUST YOUR COINS ON CENTRALIZED EXCHANGES, STAKE ON YOUR OWN PC OR SAVE ON YOUR OWN METAMASK OR ALIKE WALLET WHERE YOU HOLD YOUR KEYS.
I WONT GIVE UP, I WILL CONTINUE DOLLAR COST AVERAGE BUT THIS TIME THE ONLY PLACE IM KEEPING MY COINS IS IN MY WALLET.

I am so sorry to hear this, please remember "Not your keys, not your coins". Hacking grows by the year with crypto growth so please adopt the best security measures for your accounts, like 2fa, updating passwords every month, having hardware wallets or cold wallets among other suggestions like closed environments for trading (VM) etc etc...
Thanks a lot also for sharing this info, it will bring awareness to more users to increase the security on their systems and methods, and it also let us understand the unnatural selling OK got.
Please provide me a picture over DM or here in the thread just to confirm you got hacked and I will gladly speak to the team and community to see if we can at least gather some OK to help you out or to at least let you know the OK fam is with you on this issue. Feel free to contact us directly over Discord or over devteam@okcash.co
Again, sorry to hear what happened, we hope you get better soon, and please share me the requested info so we can gather some help from the team and community for your cause.
I already reported it to Bittrex, but as it most probably was because a compromised API (I used 3 for bots, one bot expired and I think that is the API they used so Bittrex dont have the fault.
I am also sharing my screenshot of the dumping they did by hacking my account, but I am not asking for "compensation", I have other exchanges accs, so it was a bitter moment,
but Im already working on securing the account with bittrex so I can DCA , I already got few OK back from decentralized exchanges, but I want my bittrex account fixed asap, so I can regain some of my OK back in there as prices is lower than over rest of exchanges.

Thank you for trying to help, I just wanted to share my experience so more users can take better measures to protect their accounts, it is sad when it happens, but will come out stronger like always!
No doubt!
Well, thanks very much for your report then, we will be sharing it over discord so more community members can be aware and get better protected based on your experience,
if there is anything we can do to help don't hesitate to ask, thanks a lot for your support to the OK fam.
Thankyou
I ALSO FOUND OUT WHO OR WHAT THE HACK WAS. NEVER USE 3 COMMAS THEY GOT HACKED AND THE API KEYS LEAKED (MINE INCLUDED, IS HOW THEY HACKED MY ACCOUNT)
DON'T USE API KEYS, AND IF YOU DO, DEACTIVATE THEM WHEN YOU ARE NOT ON YOUR TRADING MACHINE, AND ADD IP WHITELISTING, ONLY THING THAT COULD SAVE FROM FUTURE ALIKE HACKS.
