Security Incident
Unfortunately, we have to announce that FaucetPay suffered today a loss of around $600,000. Our hot-wallets were compromised and the hacker had access to the funds. We are still investigating the issue and have shared all details with the local authorities. Please rest assured, FaucetPay will cover the loss and no users will be affected from the hack. In the meantime, we ask for your patience until we can re-enable deposit and withdrawals. Please do not send any funds to previous deposit addresses as they will be lost. New addresses will be generated. We are deeply sorry for the inconvenience it caused.
