A
European cryptocurrency trading platform called 2gether was recently
targeted by an unknown group of hackers. These bad actors stole over
1.183 million Euros ($1.39M) from the service’s investment accounts in a
cyberattack on July 31.


Ramon Ferraz Estrada, CEO of the crypto firm, revealed in a series of Twitter posts
that the hack affected crypto investment accounts and exposed user
passwords, though he noted that Euro accounts and wallets “are safe.”


To
compensate for the stolen funds, 2gether has offered customers its
native 2GT token at a price equivalent to 5 cents each. The 2gether team
will also attempt to allocate additional funds to cover any remaining
losses.


Unknown details about the security breach



The
crypto trading platform also stated that its app will be reestablished
as soon as possible, “with all the security measures available.” The
company will also hold an Ask Me Anything, or AMA, session on Reddit to
clarify any doubts customers may have regarding the attack.


The U.K.-based cryptocurrency exchange Cashaa recently reported that more than 336 Bitcoin (BTC)
were similarly stolen by hackers. The company has since ceased all
crypto-related transactions, though users were reportedly not affected
by this hack.

A series of tweets posted
by Whale Alert on July 27-28 indicated that wallet addresses associated
with the recent Bitfinex exchange hack moved 3503 BTC — worth roughly
$38.7 million — over 12 transactions.
