Bithumb says over $30 million in cryptocurrencies stolen......!!!!!!

in #bithumb6 years ago

One of the world's biggest bitcoin exchanges bithumb said that more than $30 million worth of cryptocurrencies have been stolen from it. They also mention in a notice on its website that all customer deposits and withdrawals have been suspended while it reviews the situation. And those stole cryptocurrencies will be coverd from BITHUMB and all of the assets are being transferring to cold wallet

What is cold wallet ......???
When you keep your currency in a device which is completely offline it's called cold storage. For those seeking the most secure form of storage. CoinBase holds up 97% of its coin reserves in hardware and paper wallets.Which mean that it cant be haked IMG_20180620_235646_044.jpg

why this is happening with every other exchange
they really need to do something, else people will loose faith in them. :(

Yes , this one is really a big issue

In coming future there will be great demand of decentralised exchanges so that where v can have our own private keys so that v can hve control ovr our funds and much safer from hands of hackers.!!!

True, people should shift to decentralized exchanges like Idex to protect their crpto assets,
Big exchanges like Bithumb won't be able to protect our asset, who else we can trust.

Yes , private keys are only the solution

Now hoping a decentralised exchange to come in market so that our fund remain safe.

Some wahles might be thinking of itt.......

I think these all are planned steps.

I also think as there as saying there are transfering there whole money in cold wallet . Or this might be a step to increase the attention of the people ...... We never know what is happing

This is so sad feeling sad for people who lost their money this will create people to go away from bitcoin hope they make strong security on all exchanges

This news gives a message that we should not keep our whole assent in these exchanges

No any exchange is secured now, u also have to be more careful and updated with 2 fa authentication.
Bcoz it's urgent money and u need to be secured.
Exchanges will not take responsibility.

This news gives a message that we should not keep our whole assent in these exchanges we should distribute our money in various exchanges

This is really very panic to hear that exchange got hacked, so better to use hardware wallet to store your altcoins. You can use Ledger nano s wallet, Myetherwallet,or use mew.

security should be implement on Exchanges and each user should take care of personal account security ...

personal security wont help becoz this fault is of website not our

Thank you Janvi.
This Really Helped me alot.
Thank you for the knowledge

great important information about cold wallet and bithumb

Many exchanges hack many times.Exchanges try to make security more strong .

Its important notification.. Hope so jaldi recover kare market.

I think people should rely on decentralized exchanges

is there any update from when they will give refund to the user and is there any policy from other exchanges like refund related one should be aware of

That's why we need decentralized exchange . I hope binance will build best decentralized exchange.

Hacking continues to be a big problem and cause of all fud in this field

That’s why I always say to have more decentralised exchanges in our crypto space. It can’t be hacked

Good stuff shared :)

Bitthumb decalare every investor money refund

everyone's money is safe as they will reumberse money to the investors . there is no need to panic
