By the same people.

...unfortunately, hackers managed to discover a vulnerability of a third party whose services we use. Although such third-party attacks are beyond our control, we take all necessary measures to strengthen the security of ...

Third parties are security holes

First party data is data your company has collected directly from your audience, whether customer, site visitors, or social media followers.

Second party data is information you didn't collect yourself — in other words; you're using it secondhand. Businesses often get it by working with a trusted partner that shares audience insights in a mutually beneficial relationship.

Third party data is any data collected by a business without any direct link to your business or audience. Its scope is much wider than first and second party data.

That's bad, I like to recommend this exchange to swap shitcoins to lightning. But at least users seem to be fine.

We would like to emphasize that financial losses affected only our service; hackers stole funds to ensure the liquidity of the service, that is, the company’s funds and user funds were not affected. We also want to emphasize that FixedFloat does not perform the functions of a custodial service, that is, it does not store user funds.

When people will learn that the exchanges cannot have a "boating accident" because they cannot sail?

Example: Bitfinex.

This is the time when they need to do a good post-mortem analysis, share and improve for the future. Trust is hard.
