Norwegian crypto exchange- victim in the AlphaPoint Corporation hack.

in #bitcoin5 years ago (edited)

Norwegian crypto owners are loosing money on the recent hack of the servers. People are in general pissed off because of the lack of information from the exchange.

AlphaPoint Corporation was hacked in the beginning of may. The Norwegian crypto exchange was informed. In the time in between and now, they haven't been paying out people who tried to sell currency. Nor have they given out information!!! The lack of information was a big concern for many of the customers in this time. Now it has been confirmed that the exchange is a victim of the hack.

I a press release, Bitcoin Norge, says that customers will have a return on their deposit from what the currency of bitcoin was on 7. may. That is of course a big letdown for customers as the currency has gained lots in value in the time from may until now. Looks like a 50% loss!

The full loss of the customers are still uncertain. Bitcoin Norge has been vary vague in their information. In a press release they say all questions will be answered in short time. Not very assuring for people with money deposited there. Some say that this is the end for the Norwegian exchange because: Trust is everything, and right now nothing seems trustworthy.

Lets hope that the investors get the full return of the money.
