Are Decentralized Exchanges (including Steemit ) really safe? Ether Delta hacked and many ETH and Tokens Stolen:

A top cryptocurrency exchange EtherDelta got hacked on Wednesday, with many users sending their tokens (unknowingly ) to the hacker instead of to ether delta. At least 308 ETH ($266,789) were stolen, as well as a large number of tokens potentially worth hundreds of thousands of dollars. Pic source EtherDelta is a decentralized exchange which lists almost all Ethereum-based tokens. The platform is currently not the best however it does have a lot of volumes and also an important first step for coin and token owners after initial ICO. According to their Twitter message : > 1/2 IMPORTANT we have reason to believe that there had been malicious attacks that temporarily gained access to @etherdelta DNS server. We are investigating this issue right now - in the meantime please DONOT use the current site. And BE AWARE The imposer's app has no CHAT button on the navigation bar nor the offical Twitter Feed on the bottom right. It is also populated with a fake order book. . Few weeks ago, we had the issue of ddos attack on steemit leading to in activities and frustrating many users around the world. This shows that nothing is 100% safe and we must take our own safety in our hands. Now is your turn: do you trust exchanges to safely store your coins or tokens?
