Potential Customer Data Breach at Israel's Largest Regulated Cryptocurrency Broker, Bits of Gold

Unauthorized Access to a System Provided by an External Company

Bits of Gold, Israel's largest cryptocurrency broker, announced on the 16th that a global cybersecurity event that occurred several days ago led to unauthorized access to a data analysis support system used by the company. There is a possibility that personal information such as customer names, contact details, and identification information has been leaked. After identifying the incident, Bits of Gold blocked access and disconnected the system from its source to halt the unauthorized access. The security team is currently conducting a detailed investigation with the support of a specialized consulting firm.
