WARNING!! Cryptopia Exchange Data Breach!!
If you are reading this post and you don't have twofactor on your account, go enable this now! There are so many phishing sites, phishing emails, key loggers, 3rd party database leaks.... all of these aimed at getting your log in details and taking your coins. Having twofactor and a strong password you use only for Cryptopia and not on any other website is the best thing you can do to secure your account. Don't just do this for your Cryptopia account though, do it on any exchange where you hold coins. - Cryptopia Exchange
It helps if you have 2FA all the time. I know this since I've personally experienced this when I tried to click Deposit button and a different Wallet Address appeared.
- Please be mindful of your transactions.
- Always check if the Wallet Address is the same.
- Create a perfect password. There are tons of free services like this online. Just search "perfect password"
- Use a different email, other than the email connected to your e-wallets, upon sign-up.
- It is still best to keep your coins in hard wallets.
I hope this helps!
In the last 2 days, Ive had multiple attempts to gain access to my cryptopia account from 3 different IP addresses. My account is now locked out they tried so much...
2FA is required for any exchange.
Thanks for the post.
Thanks for sharing this! I will follow you back. :)
thanks for sharing! I absolutely agree with your points on 2FA and the threats of phishing and logging.
You write "breach" in the title - I haven't come across news about a breach at cryptopia. Do you have more information on that?
Followed you. I only have my personal experience on this @crokkon :)
