Following the breach, CoinsPaid’s said they swiftly fortified their systems to prevent further damage. For their action, the payment processor said customer funds are secure. 
However, considering lost funds, their availability and revenue were impacted.&nbsp; 
CoinsPaid is currently investigating the hack using advanced crypto analytics tools. At the same time, it has received support from the broader crypto community, including Chainalysis, OKCoinJapan, Binance, and more than five other firms. 
The company has also reported the attack to Estonian law enforcement and is cooperating with the ongoing investigation. 
Max Krupyshev, CEO of CoinsPaid, emphasized their commitment to enhancing platform security and safeguarding user assets to prevent such incidents in the future.
