Bits of Gold Hacked: 200k Customer Records Exposed in Israeli Crypto Broker Breach

Bits of Gold, Israel's largest crypto broker, has fallen victim to a cyberattack that exposed approximately 200,000 customer records. The breach occurred when hackers gained unauthorized access to a third-party data analytics network.

The compromised information includes names, national ID numbers, email addresses, phone numbers, IP addresses, bank account details, and public wallet addresses. However, Bits of Gold assures customers that no funds, private keys, passwords, CVV codes, or scanned ID documents were exposed in the attack.

Upon detecting the incident, Bits of Gold took immediate action to block access and disconnect the system from its information sources, effectively containing the breach. The company has also initiated a comprehensive investigation with the assistance of a specialized cybersecurity firm.

The incident appears to be part of a broader global cyberattack affecting multiple companies. Bits of Gold emphasizes that customers' digital assets and funds remain safe and were not involved in the breach.
