Cryptocurrency exchange Currency.com has suffered a massive DDoS attack after it announced that it has stopped serving users from the Russian Federation. The owner of the company, Viktor Prokopenya, told the Sunday Times that Russian hackers were behind the incident.

“You don’t have to be a scientist [чтобы понять это]. “Like all financial firms, we’ve had attacks before, but the scale of the latter was incredible – ten times greater than we’ve seen so far,” he said.

Previously, Belarus-based Currency.com was sending service termination notices to users in Russia. Since April 12, they have been prohibited from replenishing their accounts and will be deprived of the opportunity to make new transactions on April 26.

According to Prokopen, the exchange has about 500,000 Russian customers. The millionaire condemned the decision of Binance, Coinbase and other companies that continue to work with residents of the Russian Federation.

“Everyone in the financial community needs to do their best and take a stance of principle. You should condemn Russia’s actions in the strongest possible terms. This is not a political issue like Brexit or Trump, this is a terrible war. It is impossible to confirm – no one, except the hostages of Russian television, does, ”said the author.

Recall that the Japanese government has banned local cryptocurrency companies from working with sanctioned individuals.
