PSA - Poloniex confirms Data Leak
# Poloniex sends out email confirming data leak 

Another day, another data leak in crypto land.

This one comes at the expense of Poloniex users.

The following email was sent out within the past few hours to affected Poloniex customers:

(Source: https://twitter.com/charlysatoshi/status/1211521127404711936)

It's been strangely quiet out there about the leak, but it doesn't appear to be a hoax.

The Poloniex Customer Support Twitter page confirmed the email was indeed legitimate with the following...

# β€œThis is a real email! Please reset your password for account security.” 

(Source: https://twitter.com/PoloSupport/status/1211558463551295488)

This shouldn't impact any former Poloniex users within the US, but for those using Poloniex outside the US, it might be a good idea to reset passwords.

It also might be a good idea to change passwords on other exchanges if you use the same email and password in multiple places (specifically Poloniex), as I am sure unscrupulous characters will probably try to login on multiple exchanges.

Stay informed my friends.

The security issues seem to always be the exchanges that trade the token themselves.....another lesson to all.....move your tokens to your personal wallets........if you don't hold it, you don't own it

It would be good to finally accept [Universal 2nd Factor (U2F)](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Universal_2nd_Factor) as a standard on all crypto exchanges, not only on Binance and Coinbase.

It's not just crypto currency exchanges... I got several e-mails about someone trying to access my Facebook account... I have 3-factor authentication on my Facebook account, so it takes a lot of effort to login without my permission.

Ha, what's the 3rd factor? Blood or hair sample? :)

Password, code generator and PGP-encrypted e-mail... That's all the 3 factors of authentication.
