On March 30 the BitBays bitcoin exchange received an e-mail from DD4BC Team threatening a DDoS attack if they were not paid 2 BTC. BitBays did not respond to their e-mail, and on March 30 and 31 received a large DDoS and CC attack originating from Holland.

BitBays' servers received a short interruption of service, but all information and client assets remained unaffected. After the attack BitBays immediately switched to Cloudflare's anti-DDoS service and changed IP addresses. Within 30 minutes BitBays' servers were back up and running normally.

The BitBays platform has been in development for over half a year, specifically to perfect security measures to guarantee the integrity of client information and assets. Except for short service interruptions we have had a flawless record to this day.

Also, due to switching IP numbers BitBays prices are temporarily not showing on some websites such as BTCkan.com. This issue will be resolved shortly.

If anyone has any information on these attackers please contact support@bitbays.com Thank you for your support.
