Hello all Stemians ,

It is a shock to the entire Crypto currency community.We always expect secure transactions and safe deposits of our digital currencies.But what happened in the last few days will surprise you badly.

As per the news one of the biggest bitcoin trades on the planet BITHUMB has been hacked, and 30,000 clients' information has been bargained, as indicated by a report from Yonhap News.

Bithumb is situated in South Korea, and the nation's watch dog Internet and Security Agency is researching after a few clients said they lost cash in the cyber attack.

Bithumb did not quickly react to Business Insider's ask for input, however it says clients' passwords were not stolen, as indicated by Yonhap News.

It's one of the busiest trades on the planet. On Tuesday, Motherboard detailed it was the fourth-biggest widely as far as volumes of all cryptographic forms of money exchanged day by day; by Wednesday, it had hopped to the lead position.

In an announcement, Bithumb said (by means of the digital currency news site BraveNewCoin) that a worker PC was traded off, as opposed to its center servers:

"The worker PC, not the head office server, was hacked. Individual data, for example, cell phone and email address of a few clients were spilled. Notwithstanding, a few clients were found to have been stolen from as a result of the dispensable secret word utilized as a part of electronic budgetary exchanges."

BraveNewCoin reports "billions" of won has been stolen. For setting, 1 billion won is about $870,000, or £670,000. In that capacity, it would be especially littler than some past hacks of bitcoin trades, for example, Mt. Gox, where $460 million in bitcoin (at then current costs) vanished in 2014.

Some Bithumb clients were casualties of "voice phishing," where somebody called them up saying they worked for Bithumb and misled them out of assets, as per BraveNewCoin.

The occurrence underscores the way that it is not simply speculators and advanced cash devotees who are energized by the present

So it is never too late.So I advice you to safely move your assets to another exchange which you have more trust in.
