Recommended actions

  • Change your BTC-E password immediately, and update it anywhere you reused the same password.
  • Enable two-factor authentication on the affected account and on your critical services (email, banking).
  • Watch for targeted phishing emails referencing BTC-E โ€” attackers weaponise breach data quickly.
