Bithumb got hacked, and this time what was stolen wasn’t crypto—it was your personal information 🤡
On October 27, hackers broke into Bithumb’s internal mobile system, exposing personal information. The exchange says its trading system is physically isolated from its internal systems and that user funds aren’t affected—but it’s still investigating whether ordinary users’ data was caught up in the breach, and hasn’t given a definitive answer.
And this isn’t an isolated incident: during the same week, one brokerage firm leaked around 38,000 customer records, while another asset management firm was also breached. South Korean regulators say 16 financial institutions have reported around 100,000 data breaches this month.
You can lock the vault as tightly as you want, but thieves can still get in through an open side door. Your crypto may still be there, but once your name, phone number, and ID details get out, they become perfect ammunition for the next scam call.
Check your accounts and turn on every security feature you can. Don’t trust someone just because they know your name. 🐕
