Since Bitcoin's price continues to rise, cyber criminals are targeting businesses that deal with Bitcoins. The attack on BIPS began a few weeks ago after the internet robbery at inputs.io, which allegedly lost 4.100 BTC.

The hackers first started with a Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attack on November 15, the company wrote in a post on Reddit. Hackers attacked the company's servers again on November 17 and somehow managed to gain access to various wallets, which allowed them to steal 1.295 BTC.

BIPS, which claims to have more than 20.000 customers, offers free online wallets for storing Bitcoins. It also offers processors s for companies wishing to accept payments in Bitcoin. After the breach, the company released a warning to its customers saying that “many consumer wallets” were at risk. However, he did not specify how many have been violated.
