BITHUMB HACKED THROUGH EMPLOYEE SYSTEM

Summary from the TLDR Crypto newsletter

Bithumb, South Korea's second-largest exchange, said an outsider breached the internal mobile system employees use for work and messaging, and personal information was stolen. No crypto funds were reported lost. It says the system is separate from its trading platform, so customer assets can't be reached that way. It has not said how many people's data were exposed or whether deposits or withdrawals were affected. Regulators are also assessing Daishin Securities, which said data for 38,490 customers leaked, and Mirae Asset Global Investments, which blocked abnormal access. The regulator's governor said cyberattacks had hit 16 financial firms as of October 14. In February, Bithumb mistakenly credited customers with 620,000 BTC instead of 620,000 won.
