Today morning I got an alert telling me that someone logged into my Poloniex account from a 125.51.163.187 address.
This is a Japanese IP address and I am not in Japan as you can see from other IP addresses.
I dont use Poloniex so I am not that concerned. I just had an account setup over there a month back but have hardly used it.
If you are using Poloniex be aware of this. There security might have been compromised.
This alert in addition to all the issues that they have had in last few weeks related to withdrawl of Steem and Steem Dollars does not give me high confidence with the service quality and the security standards of Poloneix.
Maybe if you still want to use Poloniex enable two factor Authenticaton which will make it tougher for them to hack in your account even if the passwords are compromised.
Its better to be safe than sorry.
I got hacked on Mingergate 2 mths ago .. wiped out all my coins, lucky it was my test accounts and only had about 0.05 XMR then.
Now, everything i enabled 2FA ...
2FA all day baby
100% agree.

Your computer is hacked. If the hacker able to access Poloniex database, he does not need to log in your account.
