According to the reports, Coinhako, the Singapore based fiat-crypto platform was attacked on 21st February which was described as a sophisticated attack by the company.

Just before announcing about the hack, Coinhako informed the audience about the pause in functions due to unplanned maintenance.

Yusho Liu, the CEO of Coinhako, reported that it has already reset passwords as well as two-factor authentication for its users. However, to counteract any unauthorized outflows of transactions, the withdrawals are still restricted.

According to a spokesman of Coinhako, the exchange has detected a coordinated attack on some of its accounts and hence disabled the send function as a countermeasure.
