Japanese cryptocurrency broker DMM Bitcoin suffered a hacker attack and lost US$305 million (about R$1.5 billion) in bitcoin. In an official statement to customers this Friday (31), the company revealed that a total of 4,502 bitcoins were illegally transferred from its platform.
In the statement, the brokerage said it has taken measures to prevent further thefts and is investigating the details of the damage caused by the attack. The company guaranteed that it will reimburse affected customers and promised that no user will suffer losses.
While DMM investigates the hack, cryptocurrency withdrawals have been frozen, as well as opening new accounts and trading on the platform.
“Rest assured that we will acquire the equivalent amount of bitcoin with the support of group companies and guarantee full value to users,” DMM Bitcoin said in its statement.
