I never heard about altsbit exchange but hey that's quite a lot of money hacked. So many exchanges were getting hacked we should really not make as a personal wallet in exchange because it can hack anytime if the hackers can access the security.

Exactly my friend. Hackers have stolen a lot of money, That is why I am telling people that do not trust the exchange, just trade and make a withdrawal

maybe this is true, but for now there are some exchangers who have improved their quality to ensure the security of assets stored on their platforms. This is to safeguard the security of their users' assets, such as yobit and binance that have grown and prove that they really deserve to be good exchangers. a few days ago I saved my assets in yobit exchangers and it was safe without any hacking. and now binance is proving that they are the best exchange by acquiring CMC. it might just be a dark period for some exchanges. and a little information that there is still a dangerous exchange if you store your assets there, namely probit. The security of this exchange is still in doubt because there are no reviews that say there is security.

This list contains the names of almost all major exchanges. Which gives everyone a message. Never hold your any assets on any exchange. If you wish to trade, you will have to deposit and withdraw the coins in your wallet. Exchanges are safe until major incident occur. So it is best to hold in your wallet to avoid any major damage.

That is true, sentralized exchange aren't safe at all. We just rely on the developer of the exchange for all our asset. We just hope they do the best thing to keep their platforms are safe so as we can trust the platform fully. Or maybe if there is the bad thing come they developer of the platform can replace our loses like binance exchange did a year ago.
Actually, to choose a wallet for our crypto are depend on our intention. I mean, if you choose long term holding or long term investment then you are require as a media to hold your crypto and that is a good thing to do. But if you just choose for short term investment including you are daily trader then an exchange wallet is the solution for you, you can't use hardware wallet to do that.

~snip Some people hold their crypto assets on exchanges, it is very dangerous, previously many exchanges have been hacked. I advise You should keep your crypto assets in your personal wallet because the exchange is not safe. Throughout the small history in this market we have seen many hacks and when the shit show in MT Gox happened it was clear that storing your coins in exchanges is not the best idea as every year you hear about an exchange hack and till now over a billions dollars worth of coins are lost to hackers and then if you tally the amount of coins lost to scammers the amount will be staggering.

Nice topick but some information need correction. For example - Cryptopia Jan 2019 1,675 ETH. But Cryptopia lost much more funds for sure, they didn't show clear statistic but this exchange is in liquidation process at the moment. We have different information but in general Cryptopia lost more than 25 million $ coz of that. https://www.coindesk.com/hacked-exchange-cryptopia-discloses-estimate-of-stolen-crypto

It's far better to pay for the transaction fees every time you deal with your trading activities than to risk your assets by placing it inside the exchange. By seeing that statistics everything is possible and in order to take care of your investment it's really best to always have a personal wallet where you can keep your assets with your own securities. Whatever happens it's you who are in charge to your assets securities.

Is so much risk to keep funds on exchange platform. But some exchange are storing majority of their funds on cold wallet that is not accessible by any external body. So if the exchange experience any hacking, it will be just few funds left on the exchange but the reserve will be kept safe.

This is really a long list and I just got wind of exchanges which I never knew were hacked, thanks for this information. From the list I saw top exchanges thus showing that even they (that is top exchanges) are not free or safe from hacks neither is users assets secured; this yet goes to prove that no matter the exchange, funds should never be stored on them. Since we are responsible for our decisions which also reflects on our assets that is to say we ought to take caution by storing the assets on personal wallets.

Good list, but we should all know this that anything that is hackable would be hacked, people need to understand this, I have seen people losing their stored BTC on their laptop because their system was hacked. So apart from not using exchange for your wallet, always look for the best solution out there to store your Bitcoin

The case of hacking exchange is indeed one of the risks in Crypto World. In that list we see some of the biggest well-known exchanges. See? nothing is really safe, so provide the best possible protection, use all authentication. This hacking case also affects price movements, following data on the exchange hacking case in 2019 and its impact on the market. ![](https://ip.bitcointalk.org/?u=https%3A%2F%2Fi.postimg.cc%2FMH43kmqy%2Fexchange-hack.jpg&t=665&c=Ee3a2vUyKPGwlQ) This article also useful, this is my reason for using trusted exchanges, because they will surely be responsible for cases that harm the user, such as hacking. They are trying to return user funds.

This only shows that all crypto exchanges are vulnerable to hacking whether they have security protocol or not. Hacking softwares are getting sophisticated and those hackers will always find a way how to penetrate their system. They will try again and again until they got in, after all, that's their job. So they will not stop until they got what they needed. So crypto users should understand that no matter what type of exchange he is using to store his coins, top, middle or small, famous or never heard of, all of them have the same vulnerability.

According to the list, the hacking cases are increasing from 2011 to current years. We can see above, in 2019, there are 13 hacking cases. It has been more than doubled from the previous year (6 cases). It shows that the number of cases is increasing rapidly lately. This is a warning for all exchanges to improve their security. The number of cases in each year based on the list: 1. 2011 = 2 cases 2. 2012 = 2 cases 3. 2013 = 2 cases 4. 2014 = 5 cases 5. 2015 = 4 cases 6. 2016 = 3 cases 7. 2017 = 3 cases 8. 2018 = 6 cases 9. 2019 = 13 cases10. 2020 = 1 cases ( the temporary number of cases so far) *One of the factors why the number of hacking cases can increase significantly in 2019, is about the number of exchanges. The security level on each exchange should be different, so it is potentially to attack by hackers. 10. 2020 = 1*

Going through this list saddens me alot, not because of alots of money have been stolen in cryptocurrency sector but because the whole security breach is against the core functions and nature of blockchain. Any platform that has blockchain behind it was supposed to have an additional layer of security that cannot be tampered with but seeing exchanges being hack with each passing day suggest otherwise. I hope exchanges will employ more stronger security infrastructures inorder to leave no loopholes for these scammers to prey on no more. This hack here and there is tainting this sector bad as new potential investors are always skeptical with their fear being exchange are not safe.

Hopefully there are no more cases of exchangers being hacked again in the future because it can damage the reputation of the cryptocurrency market in the eyes of investors. It seems impossible because hackers will always try to steal coins from other people but if exchangers continue to improve their security, I think there will be a reduction in the number of exchangers hacked

After checking this list my question is
Can anyone list down the exchanges which have not been hacked till now and what security measures that these exchanges have installed to prevent hacks.
I think most exchanges listed here got hacked because it was an insider job.

Like being a habit. This means we must be careful. It's good if all assets are not stored on the exchange. Save in Trezor or offline wallet. Another way to choose a stock exchange that is convincing and widely used. Install security such as GA or AUTHY.
