COLA Platform Issues Apology, Announces Service Restoration
COLA has issued a heartfelt apology to its users for a prolonged platform shutdown caused by a malicious cyber attack on October 25, 2024. After 420 days, user data is fully restored, and services have resumed through the newly acquired NJ platform. Users can now log in to NJ with their original accounts and are promised valid funds, exclusive compensation including 300CC (approx. 600,000 Naira), and enhanced security measures.
Dear COLA users, the platform has issued a sincere apology for the significant losses and troubles experienced by all users due to its prolonged shutdown. This disruption stemmed from a malicious cyber attack that occurred on October 25, 2024, leading to an immediate suspension of operations.
After an intensive period of 420 days dedicated to specialized technical breakthroughs, the COLA team proudly announced that all user data has been fully restored with 100% integrity. However, due to the nature of the attack, the original COLA application cannot be reinstated.
To ensure continuity and restore services, COLA has successfully acquired the NJ platform. Consequently, all former COLA users are now able to log in to the NJ platform using their original COLA accounts. The NJ application has been rigorously secured and now boasts stable operational capabilities, marking the official resumption of services for COLA users. Users can access the NJ platform by downloading the new application from both the Google Play Store and the Apple App Store.
The platform has made several solemn promises to its users to address the incident and rebuild trust:
- All existing funds, accumulated income, and subsidies within user accounts remain fully valid and accessible.
- To compensate for the losses incurred during the shutdown period, the platform will issue exclusive compensation directly to each user's personal account.
- Users will have the freedom and flexibility to withdraw their account funds at any time, ensuring quick access and robust asset security throughout the entire process.
- A specific compensation amount of 300CC, approximately equivalent to 600,000 Naira, will be provided. This compensation is designed to offset related losses through opportunities for extremely low transactions during the period the user's account was affected by the shutdown.
Following this comprehensive rectification and upgrade, COLA has implemented multiple advanced security protection and emergency response systems. These measures aim to thoroughly repair all identified safety hazards and prevent the recurrence of similar problems in the future. The COLA Operations Team, in its communication dated July 19th, 2026, reiterated its apologies and expressed profound gratitude for the users' tolerance, perseverance, and patience.
Looking ahead, the platform is committed to reciprocating every user's trust with more rigorous risk control mechanisms, more stable service delivery, and more thoughtful benefits.
