The message included a BitGo tweet advising users it was under a distributed denial of service (DDoS) attack.

“We, therefore, recommend to avoid making any transactions via E-Coin/Wirex platform until confirmation from BitGo that the services have been resumed,” the Wirex email noted.
The BitGo tweet stated: “We apologize for the issue, but we’re under DDOS attack at this moment. We’re working on it and will keep you updated.”
