I was hacked 10 days ago, while I had 2FA enabled (Google OTP app) on withdrawals, so and the "hacker" only made
trades and burned trough 1500Euros on Kraken fees! And that is totally suspicious on Kraken's part!

I will be posting a separate post on this informing everybody.

My suggestion: stay away from Kraken, I am currently searching for another European exchange that has low fees for SEPA withdrawals

so you didn't have 2fa on login?

what trading pairs was the hacker trading? sometimes they market buy illiquid altcoins with one set of hacked accounts, and sell into them with another set of accounts. binance was targeted this way at pretty large scale.

i've been wary of kraken because of their behavior in this incident too.

Yeah, 2FA on withdrawal only, I thought that would be sufficient.

An I still don't understand how one can make money by simply trading pairs (ETH/GBP in my case).
I'm still trying to understand how the funds where drained as I only see trading fees as expenses.
And KRAKEN is being very VERY unhelpful (to a suspicious degree) here!!!

Here is one (of 21) page from the leader...
