Hacked Exchanges since 2011

[bitcoin31]

Most of the exchanges site who are hacked by the hacker got millions dollars and for sure they already converted it to the fiat and maybe that is also cause of dump of the bitcoin price in the year of 2018 and this year 2019 came.  I hope no more exchanges site who hack by the hacker so those funds will be use in good way. Money is hard to earn and I hope hacker will die.

Liqui Crypto Exchange, close, withdraw your coins quickly !!!

How To Withdraw Yor Money

Now, the remaining users will have a total of 30 days to withdraw their assets from the company. While the company does not affirm that the users will lose the money forever after the deadline, it is clear that the chance of this happening is big.

If you take too long, you might still have a small shot of getting your money back, but there is no guarantee of that as the company will shut its site and stop taking care of the money.

We are going to close the year. I would like to share this list of pirated exchanges. After viewing the data, consider how and where you store your Bitcoins.

Since 2011 have stolen millions of dollars from exchanges, account theft, security breaches, phishing, some recovered others filed for bankruptcy. The solution adopted by governments to improve security is to implement more stringent and regulatory policies.

This is a list exchanges hacked 2011/2018, I hope I do not have to update this year.

Please, post your comment if you are affected by this unpleasant situation or how you solved it, of course, it can help a lot.

Yes, end of the year is just like nightmare for exchanges and also the player. I believe many excahnges with the same problems will comes up and it will make confuse to start new beginning. No exchanges meaning no activity, no activity no income. Exchanges have powerful system and smart people to solve their problems, let's hope they can fix their problems.

I did receive email from them,saying this one:

Dear Users,

Recently, we were happy to announce the change in our policies. We gave you the right to decide whether you want to be with us in our Crypto Exchange journey by accepting the changes.

Much to our regret, after this step Liqui is no longer able to provide liquidity for the Users left. We also do not see any economic point in providing you with our services.

However, we do not want to return to where we were a month ago. Hence, we decided to close all accounts and stop providing our services. It broke our hearts to do that.

You will be able to withdraw your Digital Assets through our website within 30 days after this message was sent. If you did not withdraw delisted Digital Assets since we announced changes in our policies, you will also have another 30 days from the date this message is sent.

After 30 days we cannot guarantee that we will be maintaining our website. In this case, all withdrawals will be processed through our support @liqui.freshdesk.com until the last user store his assets with us. Note that our Terms of Use will apply until you have your more than zero balance in our wallets. If we do not provide services we cannot store your assets for free, so the fee will apply if you fail to withdraw in accordance with our Terms of Use.

We may be back soon. However, that depends on the market which has significantly changed since 2017.

We do not know what else to say but say thank you for supporting the cryptocurrency community and your faith in us.

We want to finish this message by the phrase of Marianne Williamson - "Every ending is a new beginning. Through the grace of God, we can always start again."

Your Liqui Team

I got same email too, and too bad Liqui closed their services. But at least we still have time to withdraw our money from there and actually i don't know what reason why they closed their service,

With this line

"We may be back soon. However, that depends on the market which has significantly changed since 2017. "

They are heavily affected with the market condition.Good thing that they do leave this industry without any issues like hacking or loss of funds with its users.
They announce or give out warning to remove funds immediately.

Unfortunately, Quadrigacx is generating all kinds of doubts, customers can not make withdrawals, everything is blocked.

Canadian Cryptocurrency Exchange QuadrigaCX Files for Creditor Protection in Nova Scotia

Further complicating the exchange’s situation is the apparent death of its founder, Gerry Cotten. Following an announcement of Cotten’s passing, some users asked for proof of death, while one even posited the theory that the exchange could not access the assets in cold storage, as the keys were only known to Cotten.

Many more exchanges that are been fallen because of the hackers. It is a information that we should always remember when we are picking an exchange. We will lose our money if we pick exchange that have low security. There are now only few exchange that are trusted and have good reputation from the community.

[gentlemand]

Can anyone tell us why we have never, ever seen gambling sites hacked? Some of them must handle similar volumes to decently sized exchanges. I don't think I've ever heard of one single case of a gambling site being drained of funds.

[pawanjain]

That's a good list you have made of the exchanges hacked. Must have been a good research for you to extract the data.
Didn't knew that the below exchanges were hacked :

• Bitpay
• Bitstamp
• Poloniex
• Shapeshift

[VB1001]

Good question!
Thx

The most important thing to find the information has been to check the data in many pages, online newspapers, social networks, forums and see that all the numbers, dates of the hacking are the same, to ensure that they are true.


News Mt.Gox

Coinlab’s Mt.Gox Claim Jumps From $75m to $16 Billion, Freezing Restitution

Evidence has recently come out that CoinLab, former business partner of the infamous Mt.Gox bitcoin exchange, has increased the amount of a years old lawsuit claim against the exchange from $75 million to an astonishing $16 billion making it ever more unlikely that burned former Mt.Gox users will ever get their money back.

CoinLab’s $75 million claim - later increased to $150 million - was already holding up repayment as it was. The new claim of $16 billion has come as a complete shock.

These things are getting out of hand and since bitcoin is something untraceable for someone who knows what they are doing, there is really no way of knowing who stole what. Hence the hacks will continue, when someone hacks a fiat thing usually you can trace the money somehow even when its cash you can trace the numbers on the cash.

Still, when it is crypto its really difficult since there are bitcoin mixers and all that which helps the hackers get the bitcoin to their wallet without leading anyone to their cove. I doubt we will have an end to this hacking thing, I don't think there is a way to actually stop hackers, no matter what kind of protection you make against them they will find a new and better way to hack the websites and exchanges to get the money from them.

[VB1001]

It is getting complicated:

Mt.Gox

After a five year hiatus we are BACK with new GoxDox to give you the details no one wants you to know.

The list of hacked exchanges remind me that I never should store my coins on exchanges.
Only send them to exchanges to sell at the right time to take profits.
After sell orders filled all, I should (I actually usually do this) withdraw all money to my own wallet.
I strongly think that it is much safer approach, even the Binance CEO stated that he suggested to store coins/ money on prestigious exchanges.

[herurist]

That's why saving our asset into exchanges is bad idea, exchanges is the right place to buy/ sell ( exchanges ) only not for saving. This time only wallet is the safest place to protect our asset from hack, as long never share device/ network and always check address link before clicking your asset will safe, trust me.

Major Crypto Brokerage Coinmama Reports 450,000 Users Affected by Data Breach

Aside from immediately notifying users, Coinmama says its response team is requiring all potentially affected users to reset their passwords upon login, as well as monitoring its array of systems for suspicious activity or unauthorized access. The platform says it is working to enhance its safeguards and track any external signals that the compromised data is being used.

It is a very interesting list, and it is a picture that I consider to be a summary of the events that have occurred since today. Especially if you need to comment on Mt. As a Binance user, it was very pleasing for me not to see the name of the Binance Exchange in the list. Of course we do not know what will happen in the future, but one day I wonder if it will be mentioned in the list of the Binance stock market. On the other hand, to mention the amounts, we can see that very serious figures have been stolen.
