Thankfully I had cashed out the day before, otherwise my loss could have been much worse.

It pained me to hear of accounts being hacked or people being scammed. Hackers or scammers can use their intelligence positively by being creative instead of stealing from people.Those that were affected should take heart. No point crying over split milk.
