Over the past five years, we have become synonymous with Bitcoin and crypto trading. We have been at the forefront of cryptocurrency adoption in Africa, and despite governmental and environmental challenges that have tested our efforts to drive adoption in Nigeria and Africa, we have remained resolute.
Our efforts did not go unnoticed, as we quickly became a household name and won prestigious awards worldwide. However, public recognition carries its fair share of risks.
Our services are divided into three branches: Patricia Personal, Patricia OTC Desk and Patricia Business. Not so long ago we were the victim of a breach. Patricia Personal, the retail application, was only affected by this breach; BTC and Naira assets were compromised. Any other crypto balance remains unaffected and we assure the public that the assets of all our customers and sellers are safe.
In light of this, we are undergoing internal restructuring and are temporarily suspending recordings on our app (mobile and web). We understand how this has affected our customers and appreciate your patience during this inconvenience. We assure you that we are working on strengthening our security measures.
Our security team, with the help of law enforcement agencies, has been able to identify an individual from the syndicated group responsible for this breach. We will continue to pursue this lead and work with security agencies and other partners to ensure a thorough review of the situation and recover assets.
Our users remain at the center of what we do and we will continue to provide updates on this situation to all stakeholders.
