I can't find news about this hack. Is this the most recent thing that ever happened to them? Can you provide a valid source about this hack on Eterbase?
While you are right with that reminder that never leave your funds on exchanges. If you are okay leaving with small amount then don't be too comfortable leaving huge amount or your main portfolio to any exchange.

It's quite unfortunate that EterbaseExchange has joined the league of hacked exchange. I got to know from the conversation on their telegram group and it feels so bad because I swapped all my xbase tokens for the new one and I'm yet to sell because I was anticipating an increase in the value of xbase. As it stands there's yet to be an official announcement in this regard as the telegram Admin says investigation is still ongoing.

Yes there it is, and there is no official announcement about the lost amount this is just the estimation of lost because these much of amounts were filled in that 6 hot wallets while hacked as per the exchange's report.

Is that exchange got shut down already? Or still working as normal!

[Strongkored]

The exchange status now is under maintenance and this is make more panicked traders who's have funds there.
Never save your fund on exchange, the possibility of exchange being hacked should always be considered.

It's getting shutdown but it says that will come back shortly https://eterbase.exchange/

The coins that have already sold on uniswap can't be recovered again as it's dex. It looks like the users of eterbase has already started to sue the admin of eterbase exchange site.

Its been a very unfortunate incident but it serves as a warning that every crypto exchange platform should enhance its security protocol and make it more reliable so that it can withstand any hacking attempt, I feel sorry for those users who lose their funds during the hacking incident.

I think all these CEX need to look at themselves seriously, if DEFI that is in the wild and with constant attempt by the hackers to hack them have not being hacked why are these CEX being hacked frequently. I just feel if this trend continues then we might be nearing the end of Centralise exchange.

These exchanges that are this small always goes through these type of situations. Interestingly if they can somehow come out of this without hurting any of the traders, they come out stronger and it turns out to be a better thing. Think about it, not that many people heard of eterbase, so when they get hacked everyone hears about it, because it is over 5 million dollars stolen so it is a big news everywhere, but consequences changes depending how they proceed.

If they close shop and say they do not have money because they were hacked, well not much to do, they are gone, but if they come out and say nobody will lose anything and everyone will have their money, that means they can go on stronger known as the exchange "got hacked but took the loss to themselves" which is a great marketing.

the news is just last day and it takes time before the exchange will announce if they will going to shut down or not and if they are planning to give back the hacked funds since many will  ask refund for that lost balance hopefully they can fix this problem without the need of closing it because of bankruptcy.

Don't you think this is an exit scam exchange?

This exchange had done several swapping of their tokens in the past from Binance BEP to ERC and then XBASE being modified til this hack and finally they realize they are not going to pull something out of the stunts they've done. None of it worked so its time to exit.

[lizarder]

poor exchange because after their utility token was empty of enthusiasts, now their exchange is affected by hacking attacks, I hope this exchange does not exit a scam and may refund $5 million to traders who deposit funds in their hot wallet exchange.

Even if that will not be an exit scam project and it will be very difficult for the developers to recover the stolen amount. A lot of ethereum, tron, bitcoin, XRP, and other coins have already moved into the new address that owned by the hackers.
The hackers were also using the DEX to wash his stolen amount.

This is the disadvantage of dex when scammer has more ways to wash their money from the criminal act.

People were very disappointed with it.

5million usd is a huge money. If anything goes wrong probably they wipl be shut down. I like this exchange before due to their complete legality and papers for launching their exchange. I hope they did not underestimate hackers cause security is a huge factor on every crypto industry. They should have learned that based from the past history of some hacked exchanges.

it's going to be an exit scam if there are no more funds that they can use to pay all their users. That's a big amount already that lost to them and if I remember they only start the exchange after they have raised from their ICO and use it to develop the exchange .  If there is nothing left for them, how can they continue.

Small exchanges and poor security will only drive away investors. Historically there have been many low volume exchanges like Cryptopia.
The recent hack was only 1.6 million dollars, still small compared to the previous hacks.

IMO they already aware about security vulnerabilities before launch it, they also have bug bounty program https://support.eterbase.com/hc/en-us/articles/360014407640-Bug-Bounty-Program . But no system is 100% secured and there's have a risk to get hacked.

I don't think Centralized exchange will be ended, there're so many exchanges got hacked in the past until now Hacked Exchanges since 2011 and it not stop customer trustworthy.

This is the disadvantage of dex when scammer has more ways to wash their money from the criminal act.

If you're talking about money laundering, it's more appropriate to mention a mixer than DEX. No KYC is a advantages of DEX, but some people use this to abuse it like you said. All CEX will get hacked... they only wait.

the times come.
What about Binance? It's not small exchanges and poor security right? But they still got hacked any lost 41 million dollars [1]. It's not about how small, huge, good, trusted, or great security... it's because they are Centralized Exchanges.

Security concern is the biggest problem for these exchange, there's just always a security hole undiscovered for the hackers to discover. an exchange usually have hot wallet and they are always become the target of hackers. big exchange have tighter security and small exchange usually have really poor security since they have no money to fund for the security expert. these exchange really should come with other way other than saving up the money in one place because once its hacked that's their end.

As usual, these highlighted tips are so important for the basic traders and the newbies. Always safeguard your private keys in a safe place and use your wallets as a storage for your coins and tokens because it is never safe to keep your cryptos at an exchange even if it is secure and trusted because the fault is humanistic and it can take place even hacking is getting more and more hard to fight. These black hat hackers got their hands on the hot wallet of EterBase, who knows what's next? or whose next? It might be you!
I've seen the news about this European Exchange in an altcoin's forum that i'm following, even with this infrastructure and the advancement /law enforcement of EterBase it got rekt.
