Bitget Security Incident 12-Hour Progress Update
2026-09-25 • Gracy Chen •
Bitget reported losses across several assets and networks during a September 24 hot-wallet security incident, while confirming that its cold wallets and separately operated Bitget Wallet remained unaffected. Based on IP behavior and on-chain analysis, the exchange assessed the attack methodology as highly consistent with known North Korean hacker patterns, although it did not identify a specific actor or make a definitive attribution. Bitget contacted affected blockchain foundations, reported that some attacker addresses had been frozen, and said a global investigation was underway. Withdrawals had not yet been fully restored when the update was published.
