Many Bittrex accounts were hacked

[Xenrise]

Hi guys,

 What doing in situation when bittrex account was hacked via email? Lot of peoples were hacked today, hacker attacked their mails first and then bittrex. F2A was enebled as well. In these cases there was not phishing webpage. Have Bittrex insurance for these cases or not?

Oh, another bad issue on bittrex. First off the holdings of accounts and next is this one? This is a bad angle for bittrex right now. For as we all know, bittrex is one of the trusted and most reliable exchangers.

Bittrex is still reliable, your only problem is the hackers. So becareful everyone. Get lines of defense for your own wallet.

I trade through Bittrex. While there was no problem. But, I heard from acquaintances that recently wallets were hacked on Blockchain.info.

I am sorry, but how can Bittrex account that is 2FA enabled get hacked?
I mean if you don't get keylog, it should be fine because even so it takes 2 code to Login + Withdraw?

Anyhow, gotta becareful with all the crypto accounts, never put same password and reveal your mail there

We all have to be very careful, use antimalware and antivirus software, set up 2FA to every exchange and mail service, use strong and not the same passwords for any site, do not visit porn and torrent sites, avoid phishing links. It all is pretty simple to do, but still there are so many hacked accounts. It's a CRYPTO market and everybody should be prepared.

I don't understand how they get the mail..

To be honest I don't trust these centralised exchanges at all. I am one of the lucky ones to managed not to be hacked but been very close twice to loose my funds though. I'm talking about Mt.Gox or BTC-E. I was listening to my elders and took my funds only for a quick trading to an exchange then withdrew them to my cold wallets afterwards.  I'm sorry for all of you who's got hacked and lost your hard earned money.  I can't wait to see Exscudo' s upcoming exchange to solve these security and centralised issues.

Is this true or not? Its not good to spread a false humor like this. It is very alarming to those who have account on Bittrex and they might withdraw immediately their coins out from it just because of this news. I hope that this news is really fake and please stop spreading it because it is not helpful.

Without proofs this thread is just FUD spreading, no more. There is nothing about it at twitter. I suppose that so huge hack should be mentioned at many news channels and sites if it's true.

My friend was hacked too,f2a enabled ang ip is whitelisted how the heck happened ? he lost 27 BTC.Just beware about the emails you receive.

Oh gosh, that is terrible!! Do you know if in such cases people are re compensated? Was he sent an email that appeared to have come from Bittrex with a link in it which he clicked? It's scary to think they got past the 2FA, OMG!! I am sorry for all the questions, I just need clarification so I can be as safe as necessary.

Need to look into their T&C for compensation terms.

damn came across this post now and a little scared. checked my account on BITTREX like everything is fine. I always thought BITTREX exchange is most reliable, more reliable than POLONIEX and now do not even know where to go for trading. Polo is also a lot of problems and unhappy

[Adz29]

Usually it begins when you get web phising, it's better if you get email, don't click what inside it, retyping is better because now many phising accounts, you must be more careful to see it, dont be fooled.

I also flipped through the twitter first. No complaints. I think it would already be a lot of noise from news and disgruntled people. This exchange has a great deal of trust from traders.

But that's his email activity log, is it possible for him to upload activity log from Bittrex when he got hacked?

[Fatunad]

Source I wrote above.... it looks like this.

So you do mean there are unusual log-in attempts on some accounts which is possibly being compromised but telling to public about the thing of many account were hacked then its not appropriate because you cant post a proof that there are lots already and bittrex would make an announcement if theres a breach or security flaws. Theres might some instances but would really be few in numbers this is why we should always set 2fa or secondary layer of security on our accounts specially if theres a fund inside it or coins being stored up.

We would have heard for sure if this was a massve hacking issue, there could be many factors leading to your friends issue, often there will be phishing emails sent to try and trick users into clicking and entering thie login details.

What did Bittrex have to say on this matter? did your friend contact their support?

They didnt replied else, he had 2fa enebled. But now he think is bad he had saved code in mail. :-/

Look on this wallet which I sent there are two transactions, probably both from hacking.

In my opinion, how a person can enter in your account if you have applied 2FA on your account and only you have control of your authentication code on your device. In my knowledge, i have never heard any hacking or phishing attack on Bittrex website. Everyone have to apply security measures and never enter your data if that asked by mail because no company ask you to give them your personal details.

[Sindbad]

Why is there no U2F support from any existing exchange except for etherdelta ? I think there are many people who own a nano ledger S in the meantime and could use it for 2FA on exchanges.
So in my case, I would like to use my nano ledger S for two factor authentification instead of google 2FA on a smartphone.
