Security Breach

Investigating - Today we discovered
a security breach that requires us to halt all trading on Bitfinex, as
well as halt all digital token deposits to and withdrawals from
Bitfinex.
We are investigating the breach to determine what happened, but we
know that some of our users have had their bitcoins stolen. We are
undertaking a review to determine which users have been affected by the
breach. While we conduct this initial investigation and secure our
environment, bitfinex.com will be taken down and the maintenance page
will be left up.
The theft is being reported to—and we are co-operating with—law enforcement.
As we account for individualized customer losses, we may need to
settle open margin positions, associated financing, and/or collateral
affected by the breach. Any settlements will be at the current market
prices as of 18:00 UTC. We are taking this necessary accounting step to
normalize account balances with the objective of resuming operations. We
will look at various options to address customer losses later in the
investigation. While we are halting all operations at this time, we can
confirm that the breach was limited to bitcoin wallets; the other
digital tokens traded on Bitfinex are unaffected.
We will post updates as and when appropriate on our status page
(Bitfinex.statuspage.io) and on the maintenance page. We are deeply
concerned about this issue and we are committing every resource to try
to resolve it. We ask for the community’s patience as we unravel the
causes and consequences of this breach.
