Bitcoin worth 48 billion yen (about $305 million) was stolen from DMM Bitcoin, one of Japan’s major exchanges. Nikkei, one of the Japanese media, shared the news.

It was stated in the news that the exchange management decided to compensate those who suffered losses. In the statement made by the exchange, where more than 4500 Bitcoins were stolen, “You can be sure that you will get back as many Bitcoins as you lost.
