Not even the most popular exchange, Binance, is safe from these hackers. No matter if these exchanges have installed high security measures, the hackers are always coming back in a new and innovative way to counter those security measures even up to the highest level.
how can you say that Binance is safe from the hackers? no man. binance is not safe at all. hackers can hack binance too. and binance has been attacked before (in May 2019 and $40.7 Millions were stolen). so saying that binance is safe from hackers is not a right statement. you should never vouch for any exchanges.
As of now, I honestly think that if this one continues, hackers would become whales and become one of those who can control the cryptocurrency market.
this can only happen if hackers keep these stolen coins. but they mostly try to sell them as fast as possible to be able to escape easily.
