FCoin Exchange Hack? There's More Than Meets The Eyes -Part Two

FCoin Exchange Hack? There's More Than Meets The Eyes -Part Two

By BitcoinGordon | BitcoinGordon | 12 Feb 2020


We finally got the next message update, and it isn't the good news we were hoping for.

FCoin doesn't have the basic necessary backup plan to protect their own back-end, so they have to build the site from scratch from an old version.

They say all assets are safe, and give a path to getting funds off the exchange via email (yeah, the safest way to interact). Who knows if fast means a day, week, month? There is panic in the forums, and many share the sentiment that it could also feel like a stall tactic for an exit scam.

For many, this could be the end of their time with crypto. For others, there is a loyalty to FCoin that leads to blind faith. I don't know if that is earned or deserved.

We will all wait and see.
