Toeleverancier van LiteBit slachtoffer cyberaanval

Beste .....,

Een toeleverancier van LiteBit is op 12 september 2017 slachtoffer geworden van een gerichte cyberaanval. Helaas heeft dit betrekking gehad op een server van LiteBit. De details van de cyberaanval worden momenteel onderzocht, maar wij kunnen concluderen dat een onbevoegd persoon toegang heeft gekregen tot uw: emailadres, gehasht wachtwoord, IBAN’s, telefoonnummer, adres en portfolio gegevens.
 
Deze aanval heeft nadrukkelijk geen invloed gehad op de tegoeden van gebruikers, alle munten van gebruikers staan veilig. Ook zijn er geen verificatie documenten (identiteitsgegevens) betrokken bij dit incident.

Het is van groots belang dat 2FA instellingen opnieuw ingesteld worden. Hier kunt u lezen hoe u dat kunt doen: LiteBit 2FA

Wij hebben direct maatregelen getroffen en wij zullen in de toekomst maatregelen blijven treffen om uw vertrouwen in LiteBit te herstellen. Er is aangifte gedaan bij de politie en een melding gemaakt bij de Autoriteit Persoonsgegevens.

I've got this Email too, and they request me to click on a link to host "http://litebit.us12.list-manage1.com/track/...".

I for sure will not click onto an unknown link address, what is going on here?

At least they didn't get ahold of any of the users' funds, but it's not good that they've got all personal information of the users.

I still use Bitonic even though their fees are pretty high, they have a very intuitive UI and they're very fast.
AFAIK they haven't been hacked yet and they've been in business for a couple of years.

Well!! As i have seen one of litebit review in which i have come across that it is one of the leading crypto that offers the best trading service to the users

bullshit, you just spam the same website over and over

Probably because there is almost nothing to hack. Since people can't keep their coins there, nor there is an email or password. The risk is reduced
Usually, exchanges store like 75% in cold storage and 25% are kept for the trading activity, but due to the nature of Bitonic the % in cold storage is surely near 95% Their BL3P platform would be a better target for hackers but low rewards for them since BL3P closed registration looong ago...
