Bithumb Security Breach Raises Concerns Over Customer Data Leak

The Bithumb security breach led to an investigation into a potential data breach at South Korea’s cryptocurrency exchange, following a security threat in which hackers accessed their internal mobile communication network this week. While there are worries about any possible personal information leak, the company noted that its work network is separate from the cryptocurrency trading platform. Yonhap News reports that Bithumb learned of this hack on Tuesday and immediately reported it to the Korea Internet & Security Agency as well as the Personal Information Protection Commission. Now the company is working to find out how the hack took place and if any data was leaked during this breach.
