The site claimed to be ‘’one of the most secure web wallets on the market’’ and charged customers a small fee to store their coins. As well as utilising two-factor authentication and location-based email confirmation, it claimed it was set-up to prevent ‘the hack of Bitcoins even if the web server was compromised’. It now seems that claim has been proven untrue, with Tradefortress telling users on the site: ‘I don’t recommend storing any Bitcoins accessible on computers connected to the internet.'”
