BREAKING NEWS, Canadian Bitcoin Exchange ‘Hacked,’ Says All Funds are Gone!!
MapleChange had announced on Twitter that they “[had] no more funds to pay anyone back.”
It’s been some time since we were able to report on a good old-fashioned exit scam. In the crypto space, we have primarily seen them in gambling, the dark web, and exchanges. The recipe is basic: gather trust of some clientele, get all their funds in one place, and run off with the money. It doesn’t actually matter the method by which you run off with the money, whether you claim a hack or simply up and disappear. The less-frequent (today) practice is precisely where the old wisdom of keeping one’s coins off exchanges and the like overnight comes from. You never know what’s going to happen next, and in cryptocurrency, you don’t have anything if you don’t have your own private keys. It’s just the nature of the thing.

Exactly! hardware wallet is a requirement my friend :)
The decentralised exchanges are a must now where users have their funds safe and secure in a cold wallet via private keys
Definitely, I only use one exchange for trading and keeping some of my crypto.
