Many people who thought "It's a major exchange, so it must be safe" became victims.
Banks give you passwords because it's your money in the account. So why won't exchanges give you private keys?
Coins on exchanges are actually stored in exchange wallets. You only have numbers on their ledger.
The person with the private key is the true owner. With private keys, you can freely send Bitcoin to other wallets.
Centralized exchanges are for trading purposes, not for storage.
If trading is not your purpose, move your Bitcoin to a personal wallet
