“We are aiming for early part of next week, better safe than sorry this time. Please bare with us. Your understanding is much appreciated. 🙏🙏🙏”

“working on it, day and night.”
Binance, the largest cryptocurrency exchange was believed to be safe and CZ had time and again bragged about its security until they were hacked. Post the hack, the company promised its customers to ‘significantly revamp’ their security, procedures, and practices. The CEO said:
“significant changes to the API, 2FA, and withdrawal validation areas, which was an area exploited by hackers during this incident.”
