It is a very sad event. Money is not easy to make in this world. It breaks your heart whenever such incidents occur. We should always check the development team and do some background research before downloading a specific wallet.

This is a very bad news. The popularity of a business depends upon its rapport among the people. If people start believing that the investement in cryptocurrency is not safe, then people will stop investing in it. We need to make the cyber-security strong.
