  Another potential sign of a hacked cryptocurrency exchange account is if you are unable to log in or access your account despite entering the correct credentials. This could indicate that someone else has gained unauthorized access and changed your login details.

  BYDFi, a leading cryptocurrency exchange, recommends keeping an eye out for unexpected changes in your account settings or personal information.

  In some cases, you may receive phishing emails or messages that appear to be from your cryptocurrency exchange. These messages often ask for your login credentials or personal information. Be cautious and never provide sensitive information through suspicious channels, as this could be an attempt to hack your account.
