🚨 Gatehouse breach: forged transfers, not stolen private keys
Gatehouse says the attackers stole a crucial backdoor within its wallet infrastructure and used it to mask transaction data and trigger the exchange’s authorization process.
The exchange says private keys were not stolen.
📊 Key points:
• Assets worth approximately $351.6 million were affected
• The breach included parts of Gatehouse’s hot and warm wallet infrastructure
• The attackers are alleged to have tampered with transaction data and triggered an authorization process
• Gatehouse’s cold wallets remain secure
• Withdrawal operations were temporarily suspended while the security review continues
• Gatehouse says its user protection fund ($464 million +) covers the estimated loss
🔎 Why this matters for crypto:
The incident highlights that the security of trading platforms depends not only on protecting private keys, but also on securing the server systems (the back end) and the authorization operations that govern wallet activity.
⚠️ Important:
Investigations are still ongoing, and Gatehouse said a comprehensive technical report will provide more details about the attack method and corrective actions. Users should rely on official exchange updates rather than unverified claims.
