If you want to increase easily the security of your coins you can do it by a simple step. Just withdraw your coins from the exchange to a personal safe wallet where you have the private keys. In case if the exchange gets hacked your funds are safu. Never store more in exchanges than you actually need for buying other coins.
A crypto hack can also happen to big exchanges, like it happended to Cryptopia, a big exchange from new zealand where huge amounts of crypto funds were stolen from people that had their coins stored on the exchange when the hack happend. All users that had withdrawn the fund before were safe because they stored their coins in their own wallets.
Even big exchanges are no guarantee that they can't be hacked, so better be safe and store your coins yourself.

Storing your coins safely will prevent your coins from getting hacked and you won't lose your crypto by exchange hacks.  Smiley


Definitely agree with this many people store their coin in some exchange their reason is exchange is the safest where they can store their money because of the high security that they are referring and here we go the best exchange before got hack and can't recover and the result is they will closed it and the funds of the traders was force hold because of that hacking incident, i'm one of the people who store coin in exchange because my friend recommend it, it was very wrong on trusting I should kept it on a ledger.
