Biggest Cryptocurrency Heist/Heck in History - $534 Million Stolen

Multiple sources has reported that Coincheck is refunding $523 Million worth of NEM to over 260,000 of its affected customers!

Coincheck was hacked yesterday on January 26 for a total of 523 million NEM coins which are worth $534 Million USD at that time! They announced that the hack was due to the funds being stored on a single-signature hot wallet which resulted in a low-security environment.

If you were one of the 260,000 users affected from the hack, contact Coincheck or await further redemption information as they are still in the midst of their investigation.

They will be using their own capital to refund ALL affected users from the hack and will stay in business. The community is supportive of this exchange and so far there are still signups for it.
