[Updated] List of cryptocurrency exchange hacks

[sayam]

After all that you have said is true and many of us for whatever reason have left our crypto assets in exchanges. It is undoubtedly a danger to hold crypto assets on exchanges and at any time we may lose our life time income. I warn myself and I hope everyone will be alert.

[Slingshot]

This is really serious. These cases also keeps me thinking how safety it is to keep funds on exchanges since even those one never expected to get hacked always get hacked. It's really wise one keeps his or her funds on several exchanges and not just one and it's more best one also safe via fiat to avoid getting hot totally. This keeps me scared the more but how good it is that some exchanges so recover by paying back investors while some doesn't.

This is a reminder so that everyone knows that we have to keep our crypto in our personal wallet after exchanging.

And we would like to see adoption, but we don´t have infrastructe for it, exchanges are being hacked on they are scamming their users so easily, just like BCNEX for example. We need to build strong and safe infrastructure that would attract more people into this dangerous sector.

I'm a victim of the cryptopia exchange hacked and I haven't been able to get back my token and have already lost all hopes but am not going to fall victim again because there's no way am keeping my coin in any exchange never again.

many places of exchange have experienced cases like this, they only see a momentary profit so that places of exchange like BCNEX scam traders who have assets there, whereas if they can be a place of exchange that has a long time then they will have a good reputation and can get many advantages of traders.

what adoption ? i thought we are only talking about exchabge hacks here . also being hacked are different from being scammed but i believe there are scam exchange that will lie and say that they have been scammed  .

 the infrastracture that your saying is like a tool right ? indeed we need that so that we can spread awareness and warn others if we saw a shady activity going on on an exchange

It means that there is no secure system and website because even the more secure like binance was experienced hacking and many exchanges site too.  So once your money is in the crypto exchange make sure that is safe  because anything will possible to happen like losing of your money.

Right, that is the risk. Make sure we choose an exchange that is truly responsible and guarantees consumer protection. Some of the top global exchanges that have been hacked are committed to compensating for the case. The lesson for all of us is not to carelessly store assets in the wallet exchange, especially if there is any doubt.

For this reason I'm afraid to use new cryptocurrency exchange. Here almost all exchange has name but few exchange has name twice. You will find out your fault when your exchange hacked. New exchange has idea about it, this is the reason investor can't trust new exchange. For trading new exchange is also bad.

[Question123]

Everyear there is millions of dollars was lose because of the hacker and it is possible that market will crush because what if the hacker sell the coins they get.

Every exchange sites need to be aware on how their system will become safe to the hackers because many traders also losing theie funds because of this . The team of exchange is responsible for that becuase if they system is not strong to keep safe their traders Im sure people will leave not trade there.

hacking is not only in new markets but big markets there are also some large markets also lose money including binance, therefore we must always be careful and do not store assets in the market because it is very risky better save to personal wallet

Even famous platforms get hack, it is never advisable to store your money online even if it is a well-known platform, hackers will surely find ways to infiltrate platforms. Imagine million dollars have been stolen from different platforms since crypto had started and the majority is from small platforms which is an easy target for hackers.

Lots of money have been really lost due to the hacks and I'm sure these hacks are perpetrated by the same group of people, one group might have hacked one or two exchanges. The hack dawned on me when almighty Binance was hacked too because I was believing the hack only affects the less exchanges, but then exchanges always advise their customers to set up two factor Authenticator against theft from their wallets, how they manage to go down when attacked is still confusing.
It's just best to save funds in non exchange wallets because these hackers don't announce their operations.

[reza7777]

if you really want to hold the assets that you have then choose an exchange that already has a big name like binance because even though hackers managed to steal but your assets will be replaced by the exchange

[awakpane]

Thank you for creating a hacked exchange list. at least this is a warning for us to be more careful in choosing an exchange in conducting transactions or investing. therefore to invest coins in an exchange, then choose an exchange that has not been hacked and then withdraw all crypto assets from the exchange and keep it in your personal wallet.

 PicoStocks exchange has been added to this list.

Yes, many hold their coins unwanted for more profit, so it gets caught in the eyes of hackers, which has a lot of potential for hacking coins. So the coin market should always be running.

Well I store crypto on a hot wallet linked to a debit card - Blackcatcard. What’s a euro card only with a hot crypto wallet linked to it. As I’m super concerned about safety of my money, I was looking for smth I can sure about.  This card is of European financial institution so it seems quite trustworthy to me. I know that it is widely said not to trust hot wallets, because they can be hacked easily. But here it is linked to a bank debit card with a lot of degrees of protection.
As for conditions they offer good exchange rates, all transactions via a mobile app. I don't use this card to often to withdraw money or make transfers, online to pay online, for this reason can't say anything about the fees but it has a nice bonus program If your monthly balance more than 300 euros and card turnover at least 200 euros, the interest on the balance is 2, 2 percent  + 0,1 percent cashback on purchases.

According to this list, there are more and more hacks happening, there are 14 cases in 2019, the top exchanges were also hacked. I hope 2020 will happen less.
