BITGET HACKED VIA ZERO-DAY IN THIRD-PARTY SECURITY PRODUCTS

Summary from the TLDR InfoSec newsletter

A zero-day in a third-party security product gave Bitget's attacker a foothold on August 31, 25 days before the $387.5 million theft. The attacker later planted a web shell and C2 on a second appliance and pivoted to the production wallet job server, where a custom withdrawal tool forged risk-control parameters and drained wallets in under three hours. The vendors remain unnamed, and the North Korea attribution comes only from Bitget's CEO, so the takeaway is to monitor security appliances like production hosts and enforce withdrawal risk checks outside the wallet host.
