This is a sad news to everyone but i think they told that they will find a way to get it back?
or its lost and no compensation or anything atleast they should have to do something about it
as an investor its a pain in a pocket specially if you invested it all in a single coin like iota
i hope you dont invest it all in a single coin chance are you lost everthing

Well, I'm not touching this thing again with a 10' pole. And nobody should until they provide a way to secure your wallet and coins. Logging in with a private key they call seed, and not being able to have at least password protection, is completely unacceptable. We've just seen what happens, and it happened before.
We can only call the IOTA devs completely irresponsible.

Really sad for the affected holders, but what is purpose to use generators on third party websites?
To replace an attack with an other attack. |

Maybe a little late, but this was the code I used, can't remember the github where I got it from. <html>
<style type="text/css">
body { background-color: #000;}
body,td,th {color: #0F0;}
</style>
<script>
function ran(){
var chars = "9ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ";
var string_length = 81;
var randomstring = '';
for (var i=0; i<string_length; i++) {
var rnum = Math.floor(Math.random() * chars.length);
randomstring += chars.substring(rnum,rnum+1);
}return randomstring ;
}</script>
<div align="center"><img src="http://blog.bitfinex.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/06/iota_logo-1024x254.png" width="1024" height="254"><br>
</div><p align="center">
<button type="button" onClick="document.getElementById('d').innerHTML = ran()"> Generate random 81 Trytes IOTA Seed </button>
<br><br><br><br><br><p align="center" id="d"></p>
</html> Review it, save it to a file, rename it to .html, disconnect your internet and open it. NEVER use an online generator for a seed, any coin. |

Whatever. And no you haven’t been in bitcoin since 2010. Plus if you really feel the way you do. Then sell. Have conviction. If not keep pounding sand.

Iota has a lot of issues at the moment, i can not understand why a lot of people are still using it knowing that it has a lot of solidity and security measures.

Why? Should I make another address and send IOTA there? |

Why? Should I make another address and send IOTA there? it's not random enough.. google it. and yes move your iota to new address.; and be sure to create a REAL RANDOM seed first |

People now tell you to use dice, real dice, but not the ones made in China, because they may be too heavy on one side with the 6.
How stupid is that?! Why they cannot build a proper functionality to create a secure private key into their wallet as obviously every other coin can, an put a password to protect it on.

its been over month that I sent my iota from one wallet to my other wallet but it still sawing that its pending and I don't thin that I will ever get my iota now and its worth more than 5k now so there you go "NO FEES MEAN NO CRYPTO" I would not buy any more iotas until I get my back.

Your IOTA are probably safe, just stuck somewhere. That has nothing to do with the theft. |

I am surprised how few major crypto news sites are reporting about this. Only ccn so far AFAIK. (not to be confused with CNN)

Most people are not even aware of it. They assume funds are safe in their wallets, and then boom...all gone. But I think it is a shame for the IOTA developers to not go public with this and warn people. Theft is still going on. |

Maybe it is because the information spreads slowly because there is no official statement from IOTA. |

I still have my IOTAs however bought them long time ago. How do I know if my wallet may be compromised and what to do to prevent my funds from being stolen?

i would create a new wallet and transfer asap, dont use any online seed generators. Chances are though you are safe if not compromised by now, but better safe than sorry |
