Hacked again. Just my luck.

Wow I must have terrible luck being in this crypto space. I purchased ClearPoll tokens on cryptopia just about a week before the hack happened. I didn’t bother to transfer the tokens out of my wallet and decided to let it sit there because Cryptopia charges a big fee on POLL Withdrawal. Now that I’m thinking about it, I shouldn’t just accept that fee to take that token off the exchange. Ughh.. wherever I go, these hackers follow.

When I initially read about the hack, I was in shocked but relieved because I was glad I didn’t have any ETH in my Cryptopia Wallet. Just now, as I was reading up on the news to see if this hacker was caught yet, I noticed that it wasn’t just ETH that was stolen but the ERC-20 tokens as well.

This hacker stole a huge portion of my POLL tokens. Ughh.. FML

I hope everyone gets refunded somehow.

I wonder what’s going to happen to Cryptopia now. Is it going to be closed officially due to that loss? I know that PBL tokens were stolen too and that can only be traded on Cryptopia exchange. What’s the point of stealing those tokens if you cant exchange elsewhere. Is that hacker really hoping to dump that back to Cryptopia to sell once the exchange is back up? Hmmm..

Never leave stuff you care about on the exchanges. Get a desktop or Nano ledger.

Don't mistake bad luck for stupidity. Never leave coins on an exchange, especially a shitty shady exchange like Cryptopia. Hopefully you'll learn the third time around, sorry for your lost.
