The e-mail addresses and passwords, the only ramparts of the accounts Poloniex
The accounts Poloniex have become particularly vulnerable since the company decided not to follow the procedures of audit clients.
In fact, she has just recently remove the requirement KYC (knowledge of customers) for withdrawals of up to $ 10,000 per day, which gives new users more freedom in creating the accounts via the e-mail addresses and passwords confirmed. Therefore, the data of the users of the platform become very sensitive due to the fragility of these walls.
Moreover, the crypto-stock exchange no longer offers its services to american users for the month of October, when it officially left Circle.
