I urge members of Cex.io to change their password and add extra security e.g authenticator.
Reason being, I stumbled across a website that looked like cex.io, which was cex-io.com.
Funny enough you could log on via this fake site. Unfortunately I was one of those unlucky souls. I didn't know, I just typed in cex in google and it came up on top.

I consulted with Cex.io support and they replied:

Hey there ***,
We have no affiliation with cex-io.com
I already notified the domain registrar of the copyright violation and the website was closed.
Thank you for your notification.

I also asked them to make a global announcement about this, but they haven't done it yet, nor willing to.
This could be an inside job or I could be wrong, either way it pissed me off.

Take care peeps, and change your password!
