"Dear Customers, We regret to inform you that we are required to suspend all our services due to some unplanned maintenance activities of our website and our toll-free line. While we are working round the clock to resolve the issues and be back online by Monday EOD, we would like to highlight that your BTC and INR balance is fully safe with us. We appreciate your patience in this regard while we work through this unexpected outage."

Usually when someone says there is no need to be concerned, it means you should start to be concerned.  I have almost 0.1BTC in my UnoCoin wallet.



28 June - 8pm - EDIT: UnoCoin is now back online and functioning normally.

I think you should not worry about it. They are reputed site and should be back as they said by Monday EOD. But thing is that their toll free no is also down as they mentioned so what it could be that causing them to even temporally close the toll free no?

Exactly! Why would a support line be down in such a time?  And why would they write we are required to suspend all our services due to some unplanned maintenance activities and we would like to highlight that your BTC and INR balance is fully safe ??

they could simply write, that "our site is down for maintenance".

unplanned maintenance sounds like it could be a response to a hack.

def. raises concern.

They won't back today. Already they replied to one fb users that they will back on Tuesday EOD.
In next few days I think even if we have access they might block withdraw or send btc option for further few days. Because they might say due to huge withdraw request/send request all service may take more time than normal. Such a poor support and service.
Time to switch other.
Here is the reply in their FB to user.

Anyone else got this mail.? I don't have any funds in unocoin but this looks fishy to me. Hopefully, everything will be fine with them because it's one of the good exchanges in India.

Dear Customers,
 
We regret to inform you that a security vulnerability was discovered on our server on June 23rd at 12:07 PM and it was the result of a server migration that took place on June 14th, 2017 during mid-night.  Despite this unfortunate incident, please note that ALL customer funds are safe and secure.  As soon as we identified the threat, we stopped customer withdrawals, blocked access to customer accounts and moved our database to read-only mode.  We’re also taking this opportunity to upgrade our infrastructure and security protocols.  To finish testing our system before going live, we require another day and plan to be online by end of day Tuesday.  Your account security and funds are of primary concern to us.  To help increase overall security for our users, we will make it mandatory that everyone change their passwords when we go live.  Thanks for your patience.
 
Sincerely,
Sathik Vishwanath
CEO and Co-Founder, Unocoin

I just received the mail now. How can you say that it is "fishy". They identified a security threat and is working on it. Lets not assume things and then lead it to unwanted allegations.

They are only taking time till tuesday which is fine, I hope no one has or will lose their hard earned money/btc.

unocoin app has consumed 1.4GB of data on my mobile device this week. I don't know what sort of information it is sending back to unocoin from my phone.

I use apple music to stream music on a daily basis. in comparison, apple music has consumed only 150mb of data(or less).
This is crazy. I don't know what these people are upto.

At least now it may look fishy to some people I guess.
I had used their mobile application only for a week and observed that it consumes lots of data, uninstalled it.
IMO Zebpay application is the best in India.

Website Update : "Dear Customers, We are facing couple of hiccups. We will be live with in an hour or two!"
In their FB Post replied to Members : "Dear Customers within three hours site will be LIVE."

But already past 5hrs since the FB post.

I already switched to pocket and zebpay.
