EtherDelta Hacked, what to do?




"Do not use the site until confirmed safe!"
Wait for confirmation here: https://twitter.com/etherdelta
"If you exposed your private key move your funds & tokens!"
"Even MetaMask users are at risk!"
"Only hardware wallets are safe!"


How to stop this type of attack affecting you?


Simple, get a Nano S hardware wallet!
Only buy the Nano S directly from the manufacturer.

The Nano S is even safe against other attacks such as viruses, malware, and key-loggers.
You can even safely use the Nano S on infected computers.

What to do if you exposed your private key?

  1. Create a new ETH wallet.
  2. Use MyEtherWallet to move your funds & tokens to the new wallet.

How to move funds out of EtherDelta without opening the hacked website?


Safely check your balance on EtherDelta here: https://deltabalances.github.io/

Also note that you have to use the full decimal values on the token and ETH.
So 1 ETH becomes a value of 1e18 or 1000000000000000000

What if you used a hardware wallet?


You are safe and the hackers do not have your private keys, so no need to panic.
