Here are some free and simple security automations that will bring you piece of mind and help you act quickly in the event that one of your online crypto currency exchange accounts get hijacked by a hacker.

Examples:

When someone (hopefully me) signs into my Bittrex account, send my phone (iPhone/Android) a push notification.

When purchased crypto is available in my Coinbase account, send my phone a push notification.

When someone makes a withdrawal request on my HitBTC account, announce it over my Sonos Speaker and send my phone a push notification.

Why would I want these automations?

Well, if you are the one who's signing in or transferring the crypto then it's not a concern. If you were not the one who signed in then it's a huge concern. Exchanges like Bittrex and Coinbase typically send you an email with a "disable my account" URL that you can use IF you get to it in time. These automations will help you notice a security breech within seconds rather than minutes/hours/days.

How to do this?

It's free. Download the Stringify app at the App Store or Google Play. Then import some of these automations I made. You'll also need to connect your Gmail account and set up mail labels for the exchanges you want to automate (Bittrex, Coinbase, HitBTC, etc). Get creative and automate notifications, speakers, etc!

Here are some automations I made that you can try, it's all free:
