Ethedelta Hacked

[xpashtetx]

when I saw the news, I brought everything first. I never liked this site, but there are no alternatives to the tokens, I will wait until all bugs are fixed

Decentralized exchanges such as EtherDelta based on smart contracts, cannot have funds stolen from them. However the website could be supplanted by a fake one (which is what happened, as the hacker took control of EtherDelta website DNS). So you go to the fake website thinking is the real one, and the hacker could steal your private keys.

ED smart contract is impossible to hack. Infact ED is decentralised and all the functionality is governed by smart contract. In any case until the smart contract is invoked by the creator it cannot release fund. In case the smart contract release fund then it is not hacked, it is scam.

But none of fact mentioned above is true. ED is not hacked, what has been done is that ED DNS is being routed and spoofed.
There is a mile difference between Hack and DNS Compromisation.

This thread title is misleading.

There's nothing safe in digital world everything can be hacked, EtherDelta dev will fix of this issue and I hope they resolve this problem as soon as possible, this hacked can bring this EtherDelta to make more secure system soon.

The first time I heard that etherdelta had been hacked by the other side I was shocked.
Because I think that etherdelta has been safe and can not possibly be cracked by others because of its high level of security.

Everything is possible,there is no perfect system every sickness has a cure it depends on how much you are willing to spent.This post should be on the Off topic your title is misleading.

When will it be safe to trade on ether delta? Or how it could be checked? Is there some other places like ether delta to trade tokens on early stage?

Yes you correct this will bring more secure than
Previoua times. DNS HACKED THATS THE PROBLEM. They will fix it

[naufals4]

yeah i got shocked too hearing that etherdelta getting hacked. the hacker got the access the dns server in etherdelta and redirect people into the scam site that he made on. and now the etherdelta still down, my advice dont trade right now on etherdelta or you'll token or coin will be vanish.

[Zakhal]

Any news when are they going to fix this? All my investments are still there, nothing lost. I use metamask.

Maybe I should look into alternatives like OasisDex..

Exchanges are the major targets of hackers. Any website can be hacked its not that websites can't be hacked.
Exchanges are like banks and the hackers are like the robbers . They rob whatever is possible.

If it is happen then it is a very serious matter as many people have accounts there and their accounts are at risk. They have to add more security features as millions of dollars of investors are in the system.

[Bambinoe]

I thought a decentralized exchange cant be hacked. But from what i heard its the website and not the smart contract that is hacked.

[Naij]

I hope that Etherdelta will find a solution to this. It's so terrible for us, so many users that user that website to sell Altcoins that are crap for etheriums, I hope I didn't lose any of my poor ethers that I have left there

[ice18]

This hackers these days are really smart and intelligent they can break even the most secured sites how much more the etherdelta in the twitter account of etherdelta said that hacker temporarily gained access to dns server of etherdelta's website I hope that no coins were stolen, site is offline until now better stay away from ed until problems are resolved.

Here is a useful post on the subject stickied to the top of /r/ethtrader. It includes info on how to get your coins out of ED without having to go to the compromised website:

Thanks for the link, it seems that more people are learning that they shouldn't keep coins on any website.

This is a serious thing to deal with,exchanges must increase their security to prevent such hacks,ethereum is being targeted by the hackers because they see a lot of vulnerabilities in the site.

[fatenmo]

As long as you didnt make any transactions and lost money your ok.

I read an article a few hours ago explaining a few things that happened. Feel free to read too.

How about ens.domains!! This sort of attack can be prevented by this service i think.

[Soksuci]

Well it depends. There are many types of hacking. Technically blockchain can't be hacked tho
