According to Bitcoin Magazine, non-custodial bitcoin payment processor Swiss Bitcoin Pay took its servers down on Monday following a data breach. The Neuchâtel, Switzerland-based company stated that user funds remained safe and that any amounts owed to users would be fully returned.

The announcement arrived amid a series of breaches impacting fintech and bitcoin firms. Revolut confirmed that data was handed to an unauthorized party, while Trezor warned of a marketing platform breach leading to phishing.
