RE: $20,000 Stolen from Bittrex (7btc) Captured live is Fake.

in #cryptocurrency7 years ago

Guess what, I had the same situation with POLONIEX too, suddenly I got an email telling me a stranger IP address logged into my account. LUCKILY, I managed to change my password before anything happens, I did not put large amount of money in it either. So I guess I'm safe from the loss. But still, it isn't advisable to store the cryptos in an exchange.

Sort:  

I had someone log into my bittrex account recently. Luckily I had zero funds setting in my account. I quickly changed the password and added 2FA. I still won't leave money setting long on exchanges. What caught my attention was the email notifications that bittrex sends. I knew I wasn't logged in any that day and not near my laptop. I also noticed the IP address was foreign.

In the video he explains that he didn't even get an email which is even more suspicious. Yup, I don't trust exchanges. Load coins, sell coins, buy new coins, move to external wallet. Pain in the butt but you will be safe.
