Plutus, a crypto finance app founded in 2015, has denied reports from social media that its database was compromised by a hacking attack launched by alleged threat actors.

Plutus' official statement on the alleged cyber incident
However, a representative of Plutus sent the following statement:
"We have investigated several possible attack vectors and have found no evidence of hacking. We want to reassure our customers that there is no risk of losing their fiduciary or cryptographic balances. Our services are not on-call by design, which eliminates the possibility that corporate hacks have an impact on client assets. So far, we have found no evidence to suggest a successful hacking attempt. "
According to the screenshot posted by Sixgill, the alleged attackers downloaded the 1205 information from an unidentified website, as well as the passwords "bcrypt". These are linked to the password used by Plutus users to access their portfolios via the site.
Recently, Plutus announced that it had started offering rewards via its debit card when users purchased the Nike online store. This allows you to unlock up to 3% in crypto and 9% cash rewards for these purchases.
