I'm not really afraid about the security of my funds as I don't store anything on exchanges but It's worth mentioning that I received 3 Fail login attempts and then my account got locked.

Code:

15th March - 95.181.176.135
17th March - 73.196.57.191
19th March - 85.102.254.166

The IP addresses are not from the same country so It's most likely an attack with proxies on different accounts and not just mine. I thought I should let you guys know so in case you don't have 2FA enabled or strong password, do it.

It's definitely not an accident, definitely planned and the hacker's trying to login from different IPs so that he doesn't get traced down. Probably using a proxy to do so, but it's definitely malicious in intent.

I believe that I've heard users at cryptopia being hacked before, though I'm not sure if it's officially confirmed.

But as warningsigns said, nobody should store any amount of coins on exchanges. If you have to exchange crypto, then do the exchange and get your money out asap. You never know what goes on in an exchange, you might not even get notified of hackers trying to get into your account. It might not even be hackers, it could be the exchange itself that becomes insolvent which ends up with you losing money.

Sometimes an exchange gets hacked then robs its customers to cover its loss. It keeps quiet about the hack, then starts delaying withdrawals and playing dirty tricks to rob its customers of coins. Getting your coins off cryptopia unless necessary for a trade is good advice.
