DragonEx exchange hacked, smoking ashes being raked over

The DragonEx cryptocurrency exchange announced that it was hacked In the small hours of Sunday morning.

It’s managed to retrieve some of its customers’ funds; it’s got the address for a Bittrex account that gobbled up at least some of the loot; it’s asking for its “fellow exchange” to freeze that account; it’s got cyber-cops from Estonia, Thailand, Singapore and Hong Kong on the case; and so please, everybody, just go away for a week and stop clamoring for your money back.

We don’t know how much is gone, but we swear, we’ll make good on this, said the DragonEx team – and the team at every other looted exchange ever, except, that is, for the exchange that promised (almost) nothing when it exit-scammed.
