The digital asset broker Voyager Digital, listed on the Canadian stock exchange, switched trading to offline mode after a DNS server attack.
Voyager would like to thank you for your patience while our system is offline. We detected a threat to our system, and as part of our process and procedures to secure funds and customer information, we promptly shut down the system.

According to company representatives, the attack compromised the exchange system but did not affect funds or users’ personal data. Voyager plans to resume operations within 24 hours.
We want to reiterate that no funds or personal information were compromised. To ensure the on-going safety of customer funds and information, we anticipate it will take us approximately 24-hours to get the app back online. (3/4)
