Important Note :   In 2016, Bitfinex was the subject of the Bitfinex hack. In it, $72 million in bitcoin was stolen from the company's customer's accounts.Immediately thereafter, bitcoin's trading price plunged by 20%. After learning of the breach, Bitfinex halted all bitcoin withdrawals and trading. In that hack, the second-biggest breach of a Bitcoin exchange platform, 119,756 units of bitcoin, which was about $72 million at the time, were stolen. Bitfinex first announced the security breach on August 2, 2016. The bitcoin was taken from users' segregated wallets and Bitfinex said it was tracking down the hack.Significant hacker funds transactions were signed off by Bitfinex's security provider, without full security.
