Bits of Gold Hit by Major Data Breach Affecting 200,000 Customers

Crypto broker Bits of Gold has confirmed a major data breach that affected approximately 200,000 customers. The breach occurred due to unauthorized access to a third-party analytics network, which exposed sensitive customer information but did not compromise digital assets or account security.

The attacker accessed names, national ID numbers, emails, phone numbers, IP addresses, bank account details, and public wallet addresses, but no funds, private keys, passwords, CVV codes, or scanned ID documents were exposed. Bits of Gold emphasized that customer funds remain safe and that the company will never request sensitive information from customers.

The breach is part of a broader global event that affected multiple companies simultaneously, according to Bits of Gold. The company's security team launched an investigation with support from a specialized cyber incident response firm to determine how the breach occurred and what steps are needed to prevent similar incidents in the future.
