The hack continues…
Remember 15 days ago when Cryptopia first announced their security had been breached and hackers had stolen something like 3 million dollars worth of Ethereum and ERC20 tokens?Well, 15 days later and despite the involvement of the New Zealand cyber security task force, the hackers are still raking in the coins. Turns out they’ve accrued over $16 million worth of cryptocurrencies, many times more than what was originally reported.
Cryptopia was never known for it’s superb customer service or transparency, and I have a feeling we’re watching the slow death of a centralized cryptocurrency exchange.This is not FUD, this is real.
Cryptopia has lost control of their Ethereum wallets. These hackers now have control of these wallets. If you use Cryptopia to store your Ethereum or ERC20 tokens, and you have already lost your coins, please take the hint that this exchange is not secure. The hack is not over, if you send coins to this exchange, you are giving those coins right to the hackers. DO NOT USE CRYPTOPIA. THEY CANNOT SECURE THE COINS YOU TRANSFER THERE. YOU ARE TRANSFERRING COINS DIRECTLY TO THE HACKER.
For those of you who did not participate in the Proof of Keys event at the beginning of this month, let this be a reminder to you of the importance of knowing how to store your coins in a secure way that does not require the use of a third party like an exchange. If you want to learn about the options you have for doing this, check out the links to some helpful videos here in the upper right hand corner.
