COLA Resumes After 420-Day Cyber Attack Shutdown

The COLA platform has officially resumed services after a prolonged shutdown lasting 420 days, following a malicious cyber attack on October 25, 2024. The platform's operations were suspended due to the attack, but after specialized technical breakthroughs, all user data has been fully restored with 100% integrity.

Data Restoration and New Platform

The original COLA app cannot be restored, but the platform has acquired the NJ platform. All COLA users can log in to NJ using their original accounts. The NJ app now boasts secure and stable operational capabilities, and COLA users have officially resumed services. Users can download the new app from Google Play and Apple stores.

Compensation and User Assurance

The platform has issued a solemn promise to its users. All existing funds, income, and subsidies in user accounts remain fully valid. In response to the losses caused by the shutdown, the platform will issue exclusive compensation to each user's personal account. User account funds can be withdrawn at any time, freely, and quickly, ensuring asset security throughout the process.

Additionally, each user has a compensation amount of 300CC (approximately ₦60,000). Users can receive compensation for extremely low transactions to offset related losses during the shutdown period.

Security Enhancements

After the rectification and upgrade, COLA has established multiple security protection and emergency response systems. The platform has thoroughly repaired safety hazards to prevent similar problems from happening again. The COLA Operations Team expressed sincere apologies to all users, thanking them for their tolerance, perseverance, and patience.

Future Commitment

The platform promises to give back every trust with more rigorous risk control, more stable services, and more thoughtful benefits. Users are encouraged to visit the official website and download the app from Google Play or the Apple Store.
