They had a security breach and losses a lot of coins.
They wrote it on twitter.

Meaning I made mistake not withdrawing some of my ETN. The value was over 0.1 BTC or so... Damn!

That is why I don't trust centralized exchange. I have a few coins left from the site and I think they will never give our coins back.

I don't know if it's real that they are hacked or maybe this is an inside job? If I'm right maybe they are instant millionaire due to many coins stuck from their website.

I hope they come back up but I am suspicious that this maybe an inside job as almost always when a security breach happen at this level, I can't explain otherwise all these hacked exchanges. Never keep a significant amount of your crypto capital in an exchange which is administered by a third party, people you don't know and even if you know the people that is no warranty at all that bad things will not happen.

Glad my Cryptopia account only contained dust. Another shitty exchange goes down.

Well, there goes my dust  . I feel bad for anyone who did suffer losses thanks this breach , know how it feels like thanks to BitGrail.

This occasion once again shows that exchanges, even the ones that have been around for a long time, could still have some weak spots that haven't been discovered.
Always keep your coins in an offline wallet.
