Mercado Bitcoin guaranteed that customers would not lose funds after suspending deposits and withdrawals on Monday following a security incident.

The transactions appeared to be ordinary signed transfers, although it remains unclear how the attacker obtained signing authority, and the exchange said no customer data had been leaked.
