Polish Bitcoin Exchange Bitcurex Relaunches Following Hacking Attack
By Jaroslaw Adamowski, Coindesk.com
After last week’s hacking attack forced the site to temporarily shut down, Polish bitcoin exchange Bitcurex resumed service on 18th March.
The platform said the perpetrators did not manage to break its security measures and gain full access to its operational hot wallet.
“Today, we launch trade in Polish zlotys, and on Thursday at 12:00 local time in euros to ensure our support team has sufficient capacity of handling bids in this important period,” Filip Godecki, a representative of Bitcurex, told CoinDesk.
As earlier reported, the exchange decided to temporarily close its site on 14th of March at 09:37 am local time as a result of a hack that targeted funds in user wallets.
Company representatives told CoinDesk that shutting down the site would allow its IT team to “perform a necessary verification”.
