A Slovenian cryptocurrency mining pool and trading platform announced that they\u2019ve managed to fully compensate their users affected by a hacking attack that took place in December 2017, which took over 4,600 bitcoins.<\/strong><\/p>\n According to the letter published<\/a> by Martin \u0160korjanc, CEO of Nicehash, the company \u201cfully\u201d reimbursed all its user affected in what they called the \u201clargest theft in Slovenian history,\u201d and said that still unknown criminals stole 4,640 bitcoins from our users, worth 55 million at the time and over 100 million US dollars today, during a security breach.<\/p>\n Nicehash was hacked<\/a> on December 6, 2017, when its website went down and it was forced to interrupt all its operations. At the time, the company said in a Reddit post that \u201cour payment system was compromised, and the contents of the Nicehash bitcoin wallet have been stolen.\u201d The platform was back online<\/a> just two weeks after the security breach.<\/p>\n \u0160korjanc added more comments on the letter addressing the reimbursement process:<\/p>\n At the time, many tried to convince us that there was no solution for us. A flock of various consultants and experts began circulating us, persistently telling us that our story was over. Everybody started offering us different ways to shut down the company most elegantly and make the most of the collapse.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n <\/ins> <\/ins> <\/p>\n Slovenian police officials took the case as a criminal investigation right after the cybersecurity attack happened against Nicehash, who said they\u2019re still working on the matter with international support, as hackers are usually based abroad.<\/p>\n However, there are no fresh updates on who the alleged culprits are behind the attack, nor indicate whether they\u2019re state-sponsored hackers or not.<\/p>\n The Ljubljana-headquartered Nicehash claims to be the \u201clargest crypto-mining marketplace.\u201d The service connects sellers and buyers of hashing power.<\/p>\n Do you think that one day the authorities will be able to identify the authors of the theft of Nicehash\u2019s bitcoins?
