Bitget's Greater China Regional Head, Xie Jiayin, recently addressed community concerns during a live broadcast.

This incident marks the first security crisis in the platform's 8-year development history.Upon complete tracing, this incident is classified as a special attack targeting a third-party security software supply chain. The attacker exploited vulnerabilities in third-party products to obtain internal network credentials; however, private keys were not leaked, and cold wallet assets were unaffected. Currently, Bitget has partnered with security agencies Mandiant and SlowMist to conduct an independent review and will comprehensively upgrade the monitoring and management standards for third-party components. We are not only committed to promoting a full recovery following this incident but will also contribute to a safer, more robust, and healthier development of the industry through continuous technological iteration and system upgrades.

Bitget CEO Gracy Chen stated during a live broadcast regarding the platform's attack incident that some of the affected funds may have a chance of being recovered. Regarding the resumption of withdrawals, Gracy Chen mentioned that Bitget needs to first investigate the relevant issues thoroughly. The technical team is currently advancing system repairs and security enhancements.

Bitget's internal and external technical teams are synchronously identifying the issues and formulating solutions, hoping to restore relevant services as soon as possible.Gracy Chen mentioned that the method of attack in this theft incident is different from previous security incidents that occurred at some exchanges. According to the current investigation, the hackers did not implement the attack through key leakage, but rather bypassed certain systems and initiated withdrawals through the system. She stated that key leakage is the worst-case scenario, but this incident is not the same.Due to the involvement of multiple cryptocurrencies and blockchain networks in this incident, Bitget is temporarily unable to directly open withdrawals and needs to confirm that funds are completely safe and develop a more secure handling plan before resuming. Gracy Chen stated that the platform has currently completed comprehensive loss prevention and will not experience further attacks; once the security issues are addressed more definitively, withdrawals will be reopened.
