Mercatox safe to use?

Mercatox encourages users to set up two-factor or two-stage authentication to increase the security of their trading funds.

It’s also important to consider the security and stability of any platform before depositing funds, as crypto exchanges are a common target for hackers. For example, on January 2, 2018, Mercatox posted the following on its Facebook page:

“Due to high overload of our system and attempts of DDoS attacks we forced temporarily suspend website for upgrading our hardware and software. The service will be restored as soon as possible. All coins are SAFE! Sorry for inconvenience.”

It’s a good idea to research online forums and trusted cryptocurrency websites to stay abreast of the latest news and developments regarding the security of any exchange.
