The Crypto Derivatives Exchange BitMex has revealed it's user's email accidentally.

Even though this may sound simple it is actually not! having the email of an user paves way for easy  phishing attacks .

After this had Happened BitMex has asked it's users to add   2-factor authentication (2FA) to increase the security.

Apart from this the company's Twitter account was also hacked and there were posts stating

 " Take your BTC and run. Last day for withdrawals "

" Hacked "


Following this many other crypto exchanges including Kraken and Binance have asked their users to change their email address that were also associated with BitMex.

Eventhough this is not a big issue it says the fact that having your funds in an exchange is not safe.

Not your Keys Not your Crypto
