Just 9 users were affected and $14 million stolen, that is huge. Why are people keeping so huge amount on exchanges.
Well, I guess having a big amount has some advantages when trading, but if I were one of these people, I wouldn't deposit such a big amount to an unknown exchange like WOO. It's my first time hearing this exchange, but at least it is listed on CoinGecko at rank #74 with some details according to the CoinGecko penetration test under cyber security fails. So why would I trust an exchange that
fails ondidn't pass cybersecurity and penetration tests?
It is way
more safer to use a known exchange in the top 10 in CMC and CoinGecko and diversify your funds on 2 to 3 exchanges; at least you don't put all your funds in one basket.
We know, "Not your key
, not your coin. It is that simple." but there are no platforms yet where you can trade with your own wallet that you fully control.
