Domains of the OpenLedger got Hacked

 

The DEX, situated in Denmark has cautioned clients to avoid from signing in their OpenLedger accounts till further notice. On 2nd June, OpenLedger group has posted a blog alerting the clients that "it's not safe to utilize the domain of OpenLedger even though its URL is featured as trusted at that time," and are rather encouraged to "please utilize just bit shares space https://wallet.bitshares.org."

 

One Medium post narrating what occurredannounced that "our account of GoDaddy was hacked and openledger.io as well as openledger.info domains are currently controlled by hackers. Endeavoring to acquire OpenLedger DEX clients' login credentials, to produce a phishing website they utilized these spaces with an interface exactlysame to the unique one of the exchange."
