2/2 BE AWARE The imposer's app has no CHAT button on the navigation bar nor the offical Twitter Feed on the bottom right. It is also populated with a fake order book.

Your Coins should be safe as long as you don't access the FAKE site and provide your Secret KeY & logon information to the Hackers. EtherDelta teams promises to keep updated per their twitter https://twitter.com/etherdelta
Apparently the Ether balance as well as any ERC20 tokens such as VERI, PPT, PPP, BLUE, etc., can be withdrawn out of EtherDelta without accessing the hacked website platform as long as you use the 'My Ether Wallet'
Follow these instructions to transfer your ethereum or ERC20 tokens out of EtherDelta as a precaution during the hack.
Many Thanks to Alex of the BLUE crypto dev team!
Feedback researched indicated many having trouble completing process described in video mainly due to not knowing exact amount of Coins to withdraw (just put in highest number that is certain, a too high guess will just cause delays which isn't going to work reliably. The default is a high amount of gas so if you don't have enough Ether in EtherDelta wallet you will just use Eth gas up with no progress....If ETH gas was sufficient and coins requested accurate and error message rec'd indicating 0 coins withdrawn only gas used....then likely the coins were hacked and gone?)
Good Luck to us ALL!
If you safely transfer your Coins or after hack is over and security restored perhaps best to trade outside of EtherDelta.
Consider using link to explore information regarding Binance Exchange, which is another Crypto based Exchange with it's own Binance Coin BNB recently trading at $5.21 UP steadily each week this new Exchange has operated and grown to the #1 Largest with 2 million users just celebrated.
Many former EtherDelta only Cryptos now being exchanged on Binance such as Populous PPT, which many of our followers had huge gains locked up there.
If one BUYs the BNB coin and holds it for payment of industry LOW fees, they are cut 50%. Savvy users can reduce fees to almost zero.
Binance Exchange is very user friendly after just a very short bit of time. Users will find they can enter orders near the mkt and expect reasonable odds of getting a fill versus the chase game as dead orders just sit there and cloud the EtherDelta exchange.
Best benefit of Binance Exchange alternative for EtherDelta users is Binance actually has many Crypto Altcoins priced in ETH pairing. This eliminates unnecessary slippage from having to convert to BTC and then trade in BTC pairings elsewhere. Same logic applied to U$D pair trades.
Many additional benefits claimed by our friends positive opinions of Binance, but if interested just check it out for yourself. Apps for mobile devices and pc based can be downloaded.
