there is nothing "new" to worry about here!

people have always been trying to hack exchanges and everything that can give them "free money", saying it is North Korea now that is trying to do it, is just conspiracy theories by some random website that wants some traffic so they release some click-bait article.

the exchanges are either safe and won't get hacked that easily or they are idiots who don't know what a cold storage and security is and will get hacked easily. or they just simply scam you and run away but say they were hacked

People have been saying it forever, and though we're hearing of hacks pretty much every other day, none of them has even been linked to North Korea. They could be working on something for sure, and they're certainly capable of being behind some of the past hackings, but this is an unsubstantiated rumor, for now. Their economy is in shambles, and they're known for their state sponsored hackers, but I'm pretty sure a North Korean hack would make headlines.

But yeah, to be on the safe side, don't keep your coins in your exchanges, and plug any vulnerabilities you could on your computer and online habits. Let's at least make it difficult for hackers.

I wonder if they ever have been successful in hacking a big exchange. I kind of doubt it honestly. They would just take everything and that exchange would collapse. Then we would all know.

I think they end up hacking individuals whether it's their goal or not. It would be simpler.

They are not easily hack that they so many security features in that exchanges i believe but it not affect the supply of trade of bitcoin.
