Bitget Hack: North Korea Suspected
Crypto exchange Bitget suffered a major security breach, with reports estimating a $352 million hack that security experts believe was carried out by North Korean hackers. On chain investigators later noted the stolen funds were moved into a Wintermute linked wallet, though it's still unclear whether they were sold. In response, stablecoin issuers Circle and Tether stepped in and froze a hacker-linked wallet holding a portion of the stolen USDT and USDC. A reminder that even major exchanges remain prime targets always stay alert with your own security. 🔐 (CNBC)
