Saved by KYC

Been in two cycles now. Taken multuple 5 figures off Kraken with no issues in the past so I fully trust them.

So hackers got access to my email address, like a numpty I had the same password and email associated with my kraken account.

They got in. Everything was happening so fast. My phone was being bombarded with notifications.

They changed my largest crypto assets into another, added two withdrawal addresses to take it off.

They couldn't withdraw it !!! My passport expires soon so Kraken wants me to update it. All in all I've lost around £300 to fees as Ive switched back to the asset i originally had and will be taking everything off the exchange once I get my ID verified. Im all for KYC after this ordeal and have enabled all sorts of additional security now.
