[“$350M+ stolen overnight! Crypto security has another big problem?”🔥]
🚀 进群跟进币圈黑客安全事件
Crypto has recently seen another major theft incident.
On September 24, the crypto exchange Bitget detected abnormal transfers from its hot wallet, resulting in losses of more than $350 million. Bitget then suspended withdrawals, stating that cold wallets and the vast majority of assets on the platform were not affected.
Even more noteworthy is that this attack was not a simple case of a “stolen private key.”
Bitget said the attacker reportedly compromised the backend system of the wallet infrastructure and used forged transaction data to carry out the transfer.
Meanwhile, security firm Elliptic found that the way the stolen funds were moved and laundered is similar to several past attacks previously believed to be linked to North Korea. Therefore, it judged that this incident is “highly likely” related to organizations associated with North Korea.
Why does this matter?
Because it shows that the security risks facing the Crypto industry are changing.
Previously, many people thought that as long as the private key wasn’t leaked, the assets were safe.
But now attackers may be targeting more complex areas—such as an exchange’s backend systems, wallet infrastructure, and cross-chain infrastructure.
📌 So what’s truly worth关注 in this incident isn’t just the $350 million loss, but the fact that Crypto’s security boundary is becoming increasingly broader.
For ordinary users, exchange security, custody methods, and a platform’s risk-control capabilities may be just as important as whether or not the market is going up.
