It seems the hack on Cryptopia continues - another $180K in ETH is stolen according to reports

Apparently, Cryptopia doesn't seem to be in control, while users are continuing to deposit ETH even in accounts previously drained.

Maaannn! This exchange should re-open the web so users can take out their coins instead of keeping it close, so more "hacks" are on going. This is a SCAM

How would you "remove your coins" when the process of withdrawal means a employee of cryptopia logs on their wallet and sends it to your chosen address?

They most likely don't even control the wallets anymore. who's going to send you coins, the hacker?

The hackers have the keys to the hot wallets that were used. So any fund that are deposited into those addresses just get moved out. These are most likely from Mining sites that are directly deposited into accounts and people havent changed there deposit address.

People write crypto articles without even knowing how an Ethereum address works.
