South Korean Crypto Exchange Bithumb Reports Internal System Breach

TLDR South Korean crypto exchange Bithumb is investigating a data leak after hackers breached its internal mobile system. The exchange found the breach on Tuesday and reported it to two government agencies the same day. Bithumb said customer crypto assets cannot be accessed because the work system is separate from its trading system. Cyberattacks have hit 16 South Korean financial firms as of Oct. 14, according to the country’s financial regulator. Daishin Securities said personal and credit data of 38,490 customers was leaked in a separate attack.
