CoinPot has NOT been hacked - your data/earnings are safe! https://coinpot.co/

We have been made aware that there are some posts on forums etc suggesting that CoinPot has been hacked. We have fully investigated this and can confirm that there has been no breach of our systems. All of your private and sensitive information (i.e. passwords) are securely hashed before being safely stored in our databases so it is impossible for us or anyone else to read these, even if we were ever hacked in the future. We follow all industry best-practices to ensure the highest level of security.
The main part of the problem is that many users continue to use the same sign-in credentials (i.e. email/password) on multiple sites. Therefore when one of these other sites is hacked or leaks password data this can then also be used to sign in to CoinPot. This is what we believe has happened in this case. All accounts that we know to be affected by this have now been locked to prevent unathorised access - users will need to reset their password in this case.
So...
IMPORTANT REMINDER
  • It is STRONGLY RECOMMENDED best practice to avoid re-use of passwords across multiple sites
  • We also recommend that you enable 2FA
