According to the exchange, 1,225 BTC, 1,985 BCH, 11,169 ETH, 5,108 LTC and 28,106,323 XRP were stolen. The total damage is estimated at $ 32 million at the time of the hack, with $ 23 million stolen belonged to customers of the site.

Bitpoint said it intends to reimburse customers for funds in cryptocurrency. The exchange continues to claim that the theft occurred due to unauthorized access to the private keys of its hot wallets.

Bitpoint confirms that cold wallets are not affected, but security experts continue to monitor the situation. The exchange suspended all services until more comprehensive measures were taken to protect the site and the company did not complete the tracking of the stolen funds.

The document states that Bitpoint cooperates with the Japan Cryptocurrency Exchange Association (JVCEA) and, at its request, members of the self-regulatory organization monitor suspicious transactions and wallets that may be related to burglary. In addition, the exchange cooperates with the Ripple Foundation to eliminate the consequences of the attack.
