The worlds largest Bitcoin exchange, Bitstamp.net was taken after it was compromised by hackers.
The company has assured users that all their bitcoins lying in the cold storage are secure.
The operational wallet consists of a small fraction of bitcoins which are frequently bought and sold.
Bitstamps CEO Nejc Kodri?
took to Twitter to assure the Bitcoin Exchange users that all is well within the exchange.
My sincerest apologies to those who are affected by our service being temporary suspended.

To restate: the bulk of our bitcoin are in cold storage, and remain completely safe.
Bitstamp amounts for almost 6 percent of all bitcoin transactions carried out.
