Hello all,
Since a few months I’m buying crypto-coins at Bittrex. I’ve also enabled Two Factor Authentication.
Past week, there was this news: '
$60 MILLION' Bitcoin theft: Hackers steal huge haul as value of the cryptocurrency soars to record high of $15,000'
Logging in with 2FA at Bittrex, I feel safe. But what other ways do hackers have to steal wallets?
The safest way off course is an usb- or desktop-wallet. I like it, that the Exodus-wallet gives me the opportunity for having multiple coins. But except for Litecoin, I don’t buy the other coins. (I have Stratis, Waves, Stellar Lumen, and soon also Iota.)
My question: Off course Bittrex (and other exchange-sites) has (have) a high security-level.
But ‘waterproof’ doesn’t exist.
Who can tell me; What does Bittrex -except for 2FA- to get (close) to waterproof security?
About estimating the hack-risk: I’ve reasonable PC-basic-knowledge. But things ‘under the hood’ are sometimes too technical for me.
Allready thanks for the answers.
