🚨🔥 BITGET HACKED FOR $351.6M ? — AND SEEMS LIKE NORTH KOREA'S FINGERPRINTS ARE ALL OVER IT.
CEO Gracy Chen went live on X hours after the breach and dropped a bombshell: "We've identified some IP addresses that match the VPN choices by a certain DPRK group."
She added: "The pattern looks very much like what the North Korean team did before."
And here's where it gets wilder — the hackers didn't steal private keys. They breached Bitget's backend wallet system and forged transfer information, hijacking the legitimate authorization signing process to silently bleed the exchange dry. 19 transfers. Hot wallets and warm wallets drained. Cold wallets untouched.
Assets taken?
👻 $157.5M in XRP
👻 $85.8M in ETH
👻 USDT, USDC, BNB, AVAX & Tether Gold — $357M in total.
The silver lining: Bitget's User Protection Fund holds over $464M — enough to cover the full loss. Customer balances remain intact.
Insider involvement? Ruled out. Attribution? Still preliminary — but the evidence is pointing hard at Pyongyang.
North Korea isn't hacking crypto. They're farming it.
