RE: $20,000 (7BTC) Stolen from Bittrex (captured live on video) Huge lesson learned

in #bitcoin • 7 years ago

I don't much about programming and but it looks like your API key was somehow compromised. If someone gets your API key then it is possible they can program a bot to automatically do this. I don't think it is just Bittrex but can maybe happen on all exchanges as they also allow bot trading.

      Go to settings and under API key you can see whether you have an API key set. If you have set a API key then there a set of numbers should be seen otherwise no keys should be seen. This how I think your account has been compromised. I may be wrong. Will be good to know if you have or not have have a API key and whether you set this key yourself.
