A huge amount of Bitcoin (BTC) has been reportedly stolen by hackers from a crypto exchange. Hackers have attacked the U.K-based cryptocurrency exchange Cashaa and stole over 336 BTC from its wallet. After reporting this hacking activity, the crypto exchange has immediately taken notice and has halted all of the other transactions related to cryptocurrency.

Kumar says that the company is now investigating the overall damage that the incident has caused:

“We are still investigating the damage caused by the incident and suspend all the withdrawals for 24 hours. We have called the board meeting to decide whether the company will bear all the losses.”

Adding more to it, he said that the reason behind rising hacking activities is that hackers have got confidence from those crypto exchanges who facilitate such launderings via their systems and do not take action. He believes such kinds of exchanges should be banned.

Indian exchanges have shown quick support to Cashaa

Various crypto exchanges are supporting Cashaa on this occasion. The crypto exchange has received immediate support from major Indian crypto exchanges such as WazirX and CoinDCX.

According to Kumar Gaurav:
