가상자산거래소 빗썸에서 사내 모바일 시스템에 대한 외부 해킹 공격으로 개인정보가 유출되는 사고가 발생했다.
According to the cryptocurrency industry on October 28, Bithumb confirmed that personal data was leaked due to unauthorized access by an external party to its internal mobile groupware system on October 27. Following the incident, Bithumb reported the matter to the Korea Internet & Security Agency (KISA) and the Personal Information Protection Commission.
Bithumb is currently investigating the extent and scope of the damage, considering the possibility that the leaked data includes information from regular members using the exchange.
However, Bithumb stated that the groupware and the exchange's operational systems are physically separated, ensuring that customer assets remain unaffected.
Bithumb emphasized, "Since we use completely separate network systems, customer assets are not impacted," adding, "We are conducting an analysis to determine the exact scope and items of the potential member information leak."
This incident comes amid a series of hacking incidents in the financial sector, with breaches also reported at GoPax, operated by Streami, and CoinMarket exchange Prabank.
GoPax has identified unusual access patterns in some customer accounts this month and is currently investigating the extent of the damage. So far, no asset losses have been reported.
