It is bad to see such hacking attempts on cryptocurrency exchanges. Actually, it degrades the credibility of crypto or at least portrays them as bad investment idea. The problem is not with crypto, the security faults on exchanges causes this issue.

I am surprised that sites that hold crypto still don't do more a add security to their platforms.

It seems to be a common thing for these types of websites to be hacked
