I hope Hotbit would be able to recover as although they don't lose money but losing sensitive information entrusted to them is a big risk to their reputation. of all the 3 exchanges that listed Bitgesell, I found hotbit as the easiest to use, if they can't grow volume on hotbit, maybe they need to add more exchanges.
Hotbit is not yet accessible, with two million members waiting for the update and database deleted by the hackers they need to upload a copy to their server, this is the kind of news that we all waiting for because it's useless to log in if we cannot have our login details, this is another example of not putting your coins for a long period of time, the risk is just too high now, hackers are always on the works.
Their statement here.
https://hotbit.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/1500008915521-Dear respected users,
Hotbit just suffered a serious cyber attack starting around 08:00 PM UTC, April 29,2021, which led to the paralyzation of a number of some basic services. Meanwhile, the attackers also tried to hack into Hotbit’s wallets (However, the attempt was identified and stopped by our risk control system).
In this case, Hotbit team has shut down all services for inspection and restoration immediately, and the overall recovery period is expected to be no less than 7 days.
Please note that all your assets are safe and secure, and you can follow us on Twitter,Facebook, and Telegram for Hotbit’s latest recovery progress.
Let's just monitor, they will be back soon, hopefully no funds were stolen and if there is, hopefully Hotbit will be able to refund it in full.
