Bitget’s first security crisis in its eight-year history was a targeted supply-chain attack (an attack through a third-party provider) involving security software. The attacker exploited a vulnerability in a third-party product to obtain internal network credentials, but Bitget said private keys were not leaked and cold-wallet assets were unaffected. Bitget Greater China head Xie Jiayin addressed community concerns during a livestream. The exchange has begun an independent review with security firms Mandiant and SlowMist and plans to comprehensively strengthen monitoring and management standards for third-party components.
