RE: Bittrex Account robbed of $1,500.00

in #cryptocurrency7 years ago (edited)

Wait a second, even if the attacker got into your bittrex, shouldn't he had to hack your email adress too, for withdrawing your funds? In that case I suggest you to change your email password or change directly email provider, for better security.

Sort:  

It appears email withdrawal notifications were turned off automatically when I switched to 2FA? I didn't realize. That's why I said they should not be turning off a layer of protection in favor of another layer, multiple layers of protection is far better. To be clear my email account was not hacked, I could have stopped this is the notifications were on. Thinking about it the attackers could have disabled this feature when they gained access to my Bittrex account.

I gotta admit they have been smart, in this case, yeah I saw a couple of "better" attempt at phishing, using ascii letters for replacing the "i" with something really similar, but I would have never clicked on an ad, it's even if it comes from ducky. :(

Indeed, inexcusable on my part.
