ERC20 suspended by some big exchanges!

[Lerikaweb]

These were temporary protective measures, now it is okay to hold ERC20 based transactions on these exchanges. No matter some people lost some money, if there was a major vulnerability, then exchanges did the right thing.

By exploiting the bug, attackers can generate an extremely large amount of tokens, and deposit them into a normal address.

Question is how long has this already been ongoing before the bug discovery.

Pretty good question. What if some have been doing this even before without out knowledge? I just can't imagine that this is possible. Can someone from us counter this hacking activity?

can anyone tell me if it is safe now to use mew? and when do some big exchanges plan to cancel the suspension of erc20 token from exchanging on their site? does this issue affects all of erc20 token?

Using Mew still not safe now, they not fully fix everything till now and i suggest you to use Eidoo wallet or Metamask for safety. Some exchange suspend withdraw erc20 because of Ethereum network bugs, so we must wait Ethereum team to fix this and you will be able to withdraw soon.

This is only a few ERC20 tokens, not all ERC20 tokens. I recharged some ERC20 tokens yesterday to sell，and bought some EOS. These are ERC20 tokens and they are completely unaffected.

I might be wrong. Are you sure EOS is an ERC20 token i thought they also have their own mainnet. I heard it is even an improvement to ethereum.

EOS is an ERC20 token https://etherscan.io/token/EOS  but the developer moved a step higher than the normal erc20 and that is why they are able to have their mainet and people can also create tokens from eos.

No system is extremely perfect without a loophole, it is nice that this is discovered at this time.

Now that there are too many bargains for ERC20 tokens, my wallet is stuffed with various ERC20 tokens, but they have almost no value, and some of them I regret that they were not able to sell them in time. Now they are worthless.
