**Incident Report: 2FA Issues on XeggeX Platform**

**Date of Incident**: Ongoing 2FA issues began on November 1, 2024.

**Problem Description**:
During attempts to log into my account on the XeggeX platform using two-factor authentication (2FA), I encountered ongoing technical difficulties. After entering the correct login and password, the system would not grant access and kept requesting the 2FA code, which never appeared on my device. This issue persisted across different devices and browsers. I also tried other methods to receive the code (e.g., via email and mobile app), but these also failed to provide the code.

**Steps Taken to Resolve the Issue**:
1. I checked the two-factor authentication settings in my account. Everything appeared to be set correctly, but the system still failed to generate the code.
2. I reached out to customer support several times, explaining the issue and providing all necessary information. The first response came 2-3 days later, indicating a slow reaction time.
3. Since I wasn’t receiving the code via email, I checked the spam folder and email filters. The code did not appear there either.
4. I attempted to reinstall the 2FA app, but the issue remained.
5. I tried using other authentication methods (e.g., the mobile app for the code), but the system still failed to generate the correct code.

**Communication with Customer Support**:
1. The first responses from customer support came after a few days, which was slow.
2. The responses from support suggested checking the browser settings, although the issue was not browser-related.
3. Over the following weeks, communication remained slow, and none of my inquiries were fully resolved. Customer support did not provide specific steps to address the issue.

**Potential Causes of the Incident**:
- Technical issues on XeggeX's side with the servers that generate or transmit 2FA codes.
- Possible configuration errors or failures in processing the confirmation requests.
- Security or privacy policy-related issues on the platform’s side.

**Impact on User**:
- Due to the inability to log into my account, I was unable to perform any financial transactions, including cryptocurrency exchanges or fund transfers.
- Increased stress levels due to the prolonged issue resolution process and lack of reliable communication channels with support.
- Potential loss of account access, which is a serious security concern.

**Next Steps**:
1. I hope for a quick resolution of the issue from XeggeX customer support. If the issue remains unresolved, I plan to escalate to higher support levels or post about the experience on cryptocurrency user forums.
2. I will continue to monitor the responses from customer support and will update my blog with new information to inform other users.
3. If the issue remains unresolved within the next week, I will consider switching to another platform for cryptocurrency transactions.

**Conclusions**:
The 2FA issue on XeggeX remains unresolved as of the writing of this report. Customer support has been slow, and no effective help has been provided to resolve the situation. I will continue to follow the progress of the case and update my blog accordingly.

Xeggex, a cryptocurrency exchange, has faced a variety of ongoing issues reported by users, especially concerning 2FA (two-factor authentication) problems, slow support responses, and concerns over platform security. Many users have reported frustrations with the slow resolution of these problems, highlighting a significant gap in customer support and security assurances. Notably, Xeggex does not require KYC (Know Your Customer) verification, which raises potential security risks, as this can lead to unauthorized access to user accounts.

Similar incidents have occurred with other platforms in the cryptocurrency space, where users struggle with delayed support, withdrawal issues, and potential fraud risks. For example, Xeggex has been linked to allegations of running Ponzi schemes and questionable ethical practices, such as rejecting projects without clear reasons. These reports are not isolated, as users from various countries, including the U.S. and France, have also raised concerns about the platform's reliability and customer service.

Given these challenges, it’s crucial to exercise caution when trading on platforms with limited oversight or regulatory scrutiny. Users are advised to research platforms thoroughly, considering reviews and reports from credible sources before proceeding with any transactions.
