Bitcoin Trading Platform Shuts Down for 2-4 Weeks Following Cyber-Attack

Bitcoin trading platform BitQuick, announced Thursday, March 17, that it will be shutting down its service for the next two to four weeks to investigate a cyber-attack that took place Monday, March 14.

BitQuick staff said that during the incident, the attacker managed to break through their defenses and gain access to the service's backend with administrative privileges.

Staff were on hand to detect the intrusion, and minutes later servers were shut down to prevent any further damage.

BitQuick: No funds were taken
The company is not yet sure what information the attacker stole, but it's certain that due to its security system, no Bitcoins were stolen, and that the attacker didn't get access to personal user details (driver licenses, IDs, passports data, etc.) or their email addresses.

One day after the attack, the company says it emailed withdrawal instructions to all sellers, that all transactions have been processed, and that only 3% of the money it stored prior to the attack have remained unclaimed.
