The Coinspaid crypto payment platform, which provides payment services to various online casinos, reportedly suspended withdrawals under mysterious circumstances. The company has since deleted a handful of tweets pertaining to the incident, which they ascribed to a “technical issue”.
After prominent Bitcoiner Jameson Lopp tweeted that the issue “look[s] more like a hack”, CoinsPaid replied “Our team is aware of the issue… Please wait for the official announcement on this topic.” Crypto researcher zachxbt responded, “The issue is you got hacked by North Korea that’s what lol”, referencing the increasing suspicion that the Lazarus group may be behind the disruption.
Some have been speculating that there are connections between this incident and the $60 million hack of the Alphapo crypto payments processor on July 22. Alphapo also provided services to various online casinos.
