Swiss Bitcoin Pay shuts down servers after likely breach, says user funds are safe

Swiss Bitcoin Pay says a malicious user likely gained access to its internal systems, prompting it to temporarily shut down its servers as a precaution while it investigates and secures its infrastructure. The company believes the attacker may have accessed customer email addresses, Bitcoin addresses, IBANs, transaction history, and hashed passwords, though it is unclear whether other data was compromised. It states that user funds are safe and that any amounts owed will be fully returned. No reopening date has been set.
