The cliche is that hackers are geniuses. That's not true, hackers are generally stupid.
The top three hacking problems for the last 10 years are "phishing", "password reuse", and "SQL injection". These problems are extremely simple, as measured by the fact that teenagers are able to exploit them. Yet they persist because, unless someone is interested in hacking, they are unable to learn them. They ignore important details. They fail at grasping the core concept.
The weakest link on all of these decentralized exchanges is the centralize web-hosting. When will a solution be created that can solve this most troubling problem and bring us truly into the decentralized age.
They lost the domain name, I do not know if anyone has lost funds but from what I understand the hackers were phishing so I can only assume some did. They are actively trying to recover the domains.

Agreed!
How much have been compromised with these hack? Glad it's decentalized and only the domain have been taken down.

Thanks for the warning! I hope they are able to get control of their domain names and SSL certificates soon, before too much damage is done.
I am so glad I moved my EOS out... Hope they don't get their paws on my CUDDLEs!
CUDDLEs and EOS! Sounds like a wonderful mixture! :)
Or the name of the first cryptocuddlefest ever.
interesting!!!!! do y'all agree?
