One of the biggest, reliable and most trusted Bitcoin exchange — Bitstamp — on Monday has released a new statement regarding the security of its website,, which lead to the theft of "less than 19,000 BTC" (worth about $5 million )
Bitstamp issued a statement on its
official website in which the company warned its users not to deposit
any Bitcoin to previously issued addresses, so as to prevent further
losses.
Site Remain Offline -
The statement suggests that Bitstamp may remain offline during infrastructure changes.
Calling the shutdown a “disruption”, Kodrič said a process to shift data to more secure server space is underway. No indication was given as to when the exchange will actually open its doors to withdrawals or trades.
“We are working to transfer a secure backup of the Bitstamp site onto a new safe environment and will be bringing this online in the coming days,”
