How can future ICOs avoid hacks like CoinDash?

There are so many points of attack: website, FB, twitter, etc. - how can future ICOs make sure that the posted information is correct and assure buyers that they're sending to the correct address?

It really depends how they were hacked. From what I read someone hacked their FTP server was hacked.

There are many thing you can do, but nothing is certain...
Some examples:
- You should minimize the interfaces to your server as much as possible.
- You should consider publishing the address before the sale.
- You should lock your DNS settings.

Yup and don't use any dynamic languages for the ICO announcement site. Just write it in raw HTML/CSS that way it reduces another attack vector into your site by not executing any dynamic code.

Already cryptocurrency sector attracted even the hackers, not only CoinDash, but also MEW fake websites that aim to steal the private keys of token holders, some people really lost their private keys to those scammers.
