Ether Delta Hack Alert!
Sorry guys took some time since my last post. Today I am going write about something suspicious going on on Ether Delta which I recently encountered . In last 2 weeks it happened on 2 separate accounts on different occasions but same sort of hack. I had stored ERC 20 tokens in 2 separate accounts approximately $2000. So here is what really happened after a normal transfer of a token to bitterex exchange things were ok till late midnight. I noticed all my holdings in different tokens were being sold automatically. I was little confused trying to figure what was happening and was trying to contact some one from Ether Delta itself to check. Unfortunately before I could have my answers right in front of my eyes I saw all the the ether balance started moving out of account. Within minutes my ac balance was zero. It was literally shock of my life. Earnings from the previous month vanished and left me devastated. I was under an impression may be somehow my system was hacked. I did what what I could, calling a technician, rebooting my system and cleaned it. I was little more cautious this time while using my system for crypto trading so changed all my my passwords and finally got a new account for Ether Delta. Apparently 2 weeks later I find myself in the same situation. Once again mysteriously all my holdings sold automatically and sent to some unknown address. This time I was furious coz I didn't't had any explanation from Ether Delta yet for the previous incident and this happened.
Now the reason I am writing this post today coz I want people to be aware of such incidents. I don't want to scare any of you to stop you from using Ether Delta. I won't be able to go back to Ether Delta again for trading or holding my crypto coins. I transferred everything to more reliable exchanges, There are active hackers not one but many on Ether Delta but unfortunately Ether Delta doesn't want to do anything about such issues.
As of now I have no suggestions for anyone who is still willing to use Ether Delta but please stay safe and use off line wallets. I am still not able to figure why exactly that hack happened. Still have no source to the people behind it.
