Damn. This is really bad news. :(
I hope the customers will be compensated for all their losses and I strongly believe this will not affect the crypto space in the future. That's why you guys should be paying attention on where you're storing your cryptos.
DON'T KEEP YOUR COINS ON EXCHANGES FOR THE LONG TERM UNLESS YOU ARE DAILY TRADING ❗❗❗
Hopefully it doesnt affect the faith of new crypto users
This needs to stop happening. This is why we need decentralized exchanges so we users have our own private keys.
