The headline of the article said there's $500,000 stolen from Enigma and yet the image above says there's no company funds were stolen and even on their announcement on their ANN.
Hackers nowadays begins to target this promising ICOs or a reason for exit scam? I hope I'm wrong or else many people will cry later for their contribution on this ICO.

What hackers did was made a clone website with ICO and desperate members dumped money,after the hackers managed to access sensitive information from the website which was not properly secured.
Here both members and the team are at fault,but I think the team lead (whose account was already hacked once did not change the password allowing hackers to use his email to send ICO incite to members)
All those security features mentioned after hack must have been in force even before

lol and if you check out the official thread you;ll see people still sending money and getting scammed.
What bothers me is there is no reply from the team or the campaign manager who is suppose to be in direct contact with the team.
Hacked has become a lame excuse to steal bitcoins in 2017.

Their own fault for not focusing enough on security, probably had some weak ass passwords for their social media and website, and fell into social engineering trap.
