The Study revealed the vulnerability of even the whales of the industry. For example, one of the largest sites Binance scale security took only 17th place. The most secure exchange proved to be Coinbase, followed by Kraken and BitMex.
theWhat's wrong with cryptobinary?
More than half of the exchanges are not protected from hackers and possible data leakage. Of the hundreds tested exchanges only 4 per cent showed a good degree of protection. While almost half have security holes, especially in the procedure of registration of accounts. Main flaw – the lack of 2FA and registration confirmation by email, ability to use short, simple passwords (minimum 8 characters) and disposable email addresses.
Every third exchange there are problems with CSS and Javascript on pages. It seems okay, but such errors can lead to data loss, especially when carrying out transactions.
Some exchanges do not provide for the security of its own domain. Only 10 percent of the exchanges in use protection against DNS attacks (DNSSEC), only 2 percent of the exchanges has a castle domain. That is, all the rest of the exchange can easily erase their domain names.
Of Course, your money and your private keys should always keep to yourself – it's not news. These types of surveys once again confirm this rule. So don't risk status and store cryptocurrency correctly. Detailed instructions are in .
