I don't think this news has been aired on the forum yet, but by the way, there has been a security breach/hack on the "Crypto.com" exchange, going by the news, the exchange has made a statement that "4,836.26" eth, 443.93 Bitcoin, and also over 66,200 U.S. dollars in other currencies has been stolen from their customers, the statement also read that the total loss sums up to over 33.8 million dollars. See the excerpt below:
Following a security breach, several Crypto.com users have made complaints that their money had been stolen.
I'm curious to know if any user here who uses that exchange was among the victims who lost their money to this security breach, or if they have received any message directly from the exchange, maybe through mail on the matter. See the excerpt below:
To safeguard against such an accident happening again, Crypto.com claims to have implemented an additional layer of protection in which a new whitelisted withdrawal address must be registered within 24 hours before the first withdrawal.
Do you believe the above will sufficiently quell the risk of this sort of incident happening again, or if it is somewhat like "medicine after death". Having said that, I think this is the reason why crypto users should not store or keep their funds on an exchange but in a non-custodial wallet were they will control the keys, cause if it's not your keys, it's not your coins/funds. I don't know if personal data was also exposed, if it was, then I think many of their customers would start receiving phishing messages sooner than later.
