Nope, I had around 230 shares, and someone hacked into my Havelock account, sold all of my shares, and then withdrew around 10 BTC.

This is very unfortunate and frustrating news. I hope that everyone checks to make sure that both 2-Factor Authentication and country based IP locking are enabled on their account. It would also be a good idea to ensure that your password is something you don't use for anything else.

Guybrush01, you have Cognitive's sympathy and support.

Lets all try and prevent something like this from happening again.

Just a heads up for everyone.  I worked with Havelock, and we figured out how the hack occurred.  And they went out of their way to make things right.  I know that doesn't help the share price, but at least the exchange is trustworthy and willing to do the right thing.

Considering your GAuth was compromised, you might want to share the nature of the hack for others ability to protect themselves.
