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. ](http://mashable.com/2017/12/21/etherdelta-hacked/#wQ.74x.21qqA )

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.](https://twitter.com/etherdelta?lang=en )
 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. ](https://twitter.com/etherdelta?lang=en ). 

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.
