The spokesperson for one of Japan's largest digital currency exchanges has told NHK that it will use its own funds to reimburse customers who were affected by the recent hacking attack, but doesn't know when it will be able to do this.
The site operator, Coincheck, announced on Sunday morning that about 530 million dollars of the crypto-currency NEM disappeared early on Friday and as many as 260,000 customers are affected.
The firm said it would reimburse customers with Japanese yen. The amount will be based on the price at the time trading was suspended and at other exchanges since then. The total is expected to be about 420 million dollars.
The spokesperson later told NHK that Coincheck has suspended the trading and withdrawal of all virtual currencies until the security of transactions can be confirmed.
The official added that the company does not have enough staff and should have had stricter security.
The spokesperson said customers are asking if their assets are protected and what kind of security measures were in place.
The official apologized for the situation, and said Coincheck will investigate the cause and strengthen security measures so that regular services can be resumed as soon as possible.
Virtual currency exchanges have been required to register with the Japanese authorities since last October.
Coincheck's application is currently being screened.
Japan's Financial Services Agency heard from the company on Sunday, and will consider imposing a penalty.

The government of Afghanistan says at least 95 people were killed and about 190 injured in a suicide bomb attack in the capital, Kabul, on Saturday.
A vehicle loaded with explosives was used in the attack, which was carried out in the city center.
Taliban insurgents claimed responsibility for the blast, saying they targeted police officers who were gathering in front of the former interior ministry building.
Roads in the area are normally closed to ordinary cars, but the interior ministry says it admitted the vehicle as it looked like an ambulance.
The ministry also says 4 people were detained in connection with the attack.
The incident follows an attack that killed more than 20 people a week ago at a Kabul hotel that is popular with foreigners.
A series of suicide attacks by Islamic State militants have also occurred, adding to a deteriorating security situation in the country.

More than 1,000 people have rallied in Washington to call for the impeachment of President Donald Trump.
They marched to the White House on Saturday, just a week after the first anniversary of Trump's inauguration. They chanted that the president is a racist, or that he should resign.
One person called for a thorough investigation into alleged collusion between Trump's campaign team and Russia in the 2016 presidential election. She said that the president should be impeached.
Special Counsel Robert Mueller is reportedly seeking to interview Trump in the coming weeks over the allegation.
There are also media reports that Trump tried to fire Mueller last year. This has led to increased suspicion that the president obstructed justice.
Observers say if the Democratic Party does well in the mid-term Congressional elections in November, calls for Trump's impeachment may grow.

Spain's Constitutional Court has ruled that former Catalan President Carles Puigdemont cannot become leader again without being physically present at the regional parliament.
The Catalan parliament was dissolved by the Spanish government in October after unilaterally declaring independence. The Catalan government was also dismissed. Puigdemont remains in exile in Belgium as he faces rebellion and sedition charges.
But in December, separatists won a majority in a regional parliamentary election. They have been planning to vote on Tuesday to approve Puigdemont's re-election as Catalan president. He is the only candidate for the post.
The Constitutional Court ruled on Saturday that Puigdemont cannot receive the authority to form a government unless he is present in parliament with a judge's permission to attend.
It also ordered the regional parliament to suspend the confidence vote.
The ruling came in response to a request by the central government.
