As of today we enabled all BTC withdrawals which means Cashila is fully functional again.

Suspicious activity is quite sensitive as of now, so depending on your activity withdrawing BTC might get temporarily disabled. Better safe than sorry.

Out service is back up. We disabled BTC withdrawals at this moment. Fiat withdrawal works uninterrupted.

Tomorrow we're doing 2nd audit and hopefully restoring the service with final needed upgrades/fixes in full.

Appologies for any inconvinience to our users.

Hi everyone.

I'm the Co-founder at Cashila.

I can confirm the hack into my personal account and indeed we lost ~17 BTC that left my account.

I can't share technical details as of right now (if at all) - as it happened 5h ago.

The amount will not kill us.

We shut the whole service down 10mins after it happened and are now checking on everything.

Can't estimate when we're back live again.

All user funds are safe.


I'm here or on jani at cashila.com for any questions that I can answer now.


Best,
Jani

Cashilla users are lucky that they haven't loss their coins.Why is it that most bitcoin related sites are more vulnerable to security breach.? Why dont they put best safety measures to protect their online services?

Cashila is temporarily offline due to a security breach. All user funds are
completely safe. 17 BTC have been lost from an employee’s account.
Please expect a new update at 0:30 CET.

I just checked their website it shows the same, i haven't visited this exchange in the past but i don't think that 17 BTC will damage hard the company, last year (before 13-14 months) bter was hacked and 7,170 BTC were lost and all btc funds were lost.
