The platform lets users add Bitcoin to their accounts to buy and sell on various cryptocurrency trading platforms, allowing users to make profits based on Bitcoin's price fluctuations and the differences in exchange rates.

Atlas Quantum said the hacker (or hackers) did not steal any funds from users' accounts.
