Bithumb Hacked Through Employee System
Bithumb, South Korea's second-largest cryptocurrency exchange, reported an outsider intrusion into an internal mobile system used by employees for work and communication. Personal information was taken, but no crypto funds were lost. The breach was discovered on Tuesday and reported to the Korea Internet & Security Agency and the Personal Information Protection Commission. The exchange has not determined if customer information was exposed and is analyzing the exact scope of the breach, including the possibility of member information being involved. The breached system runs separately from the trading platform, so customer virtual assets cannot be accessed through this breach.
