Earlier today, CoinBeat reported that the recently soft-launched Dx.Exchange had already been found to have some glaring security issues.

The new exchange which launched on Monday offers crypto tokens which represent shares from a number of Nasdaq-traded firms. The exchange utilises Nasdaq’s matching engine & financial information exchange to carry out trading of such digital securities.

As we already know, within the first few days since launch, the platform received sensitive data, including password reset links according to Ars Technica. At this stage, it’s still unclear just how many users accounts were at risk, but as we reported, the anonymous trader claimed that he had collected “about 100 … tokens over 30 minutes.”

Furthermore, Ars Technica also reported that they were able to collect “a large number” of authentication tokens.

Dx.Exchange said in a statement, that bug came as a result of “an authentication token error,” but claims the issue was resolved before any damage was done.

CEO of Dx.Exchange Daniel Skowronski in a statement claimed that user funds were never at risk, stating:

“We are happy to report that the vulnerability has been successfully patched, and no user funds were compromised … Customer funds were always safe, our multi layer advanced monitoring and defense mechanism was able to avoid any further issue.”

Lastly, the statement reached out to any developers who might discover bugs, that they can report them to Dx.Exchange directly via bug bounty program.

Could this be the end of Dx.Exchange’s security issues? Let us know your thoughts by leaving a comment below.
