Title: NZ: Hacked Crypto Exchange Cryptopia Reopens its Trading Services
Post by: Goodcat49 on March 22, 2019, 09:40:25 PM
The New Zealand (NZ)-based Cryptopia, a cryptocurrency exchange platform that was badly hacked two times in one month of January 2019, has declared that it has officially resumed its normal trading activities. The exchange recommenced trading on 40 trade pairs more than 60 days after losing millions of dollars to hackers.

Enabled Trade Pairs   
The exchange has produced a list of all pairs that are available on its official support pages. Some of the trade pairs that have been enabled include, ADC_BTC, BBT_BTC, CBX_BTC, D_BTC, and others.

Cryptopia went offline on Wednesday January 16, after suffering a security breach that led it to huge losses. After that scenario, the company has been working with different authorities including the NZ police in order to bring the hackers to book, and further investigate the magnitude of the attack. 

The police investigations were seen being successful. After a long work of search, the authorities gave the hacked Cryptopia the permission to start working any time it's ready.

The exchange got full access to their working premises and immediately started calculated the funds that are still available on their wallet and those that were stolen by malevolent hackers. It found out that only 9.4% of its total holdings were stolen.
