What was actually compromised?
According to Bitget's latest explanation, the attacker exploited a vulnerability in a third-party security product, obtained high-level internal credentials, and used them to send fraudulent withdrawal commands that bypassed existing risk controls. Bitget says private keys were not compromised and cold wallets were not affected.
