Bitget CEO Seeks Block on Hackers Who Exploited Cross-Chain Bridge Vulnerability

Bitget CEO, Gracy Chen, has made an unusual request to Thorchain's developers. She wants them to block hackers who have been exploiting a vulnerability in their cross-chain bridge.

However, there's a catch - the hackers are also users of Bitget, one of the largest cryptocurrency exchanges globally. According to Chen, the hackers gained access to user funds through a phishing attack on Bitget's platform.

The situation has raised questions about the responsibility of exchanges and bridge operators in protecting their users' assets. Thorchain's developers have yet to respond to Chen's request, but it highlights the need for increased security measures across the cryptocurrency ecosystem.
