Hey Everyone,
As you may have noticed we had some extended downtime on Banx.io over the weekend. Let me give you the rundown of what happened and why we were down for so long.
On Friday night/Saturday Morning a hacker started an attack on the exchange.
As soon as this attack was noticed we pulled the site offline to stop any further attacks.
While the site was offline we looked at how they were attacking us and made changes to the security to stop this type of attack in the future. This is the main reason we were down for so long as we wanted to be sure that we had fixed any potential holes.
We also took advantage of this downtime to roll out some more significant updates to the exchange. Nothing that will be noticeable to users but it does make things easier for us to manage moving forward.
As you know there seem to be a lot of hacks going on at the moment with many exchanges and we knew we wouldn't be missed but we managed to mitigate the effects of the attack thanks to our brilliant developers!
It has been a a bit of a hectic few days but we are back up and running now with more security in place.
We will keep you posted with any further updates.
Thanks for your continued support.
We are now in the top 10 as well!!
Simon
