Bitget’s $352 million hack happened via spoofed transfers, not private keys, CEO Gray Chen says

Özet: Kripto piyasasında önemli gelişmeler yaşanıyor.

Crypto exchange Bitget lost $351.6 million in an overnight hack.

CEO Gracy Chen said attackers faked transfer requests to drain funds but did not steal “private keys.” “The attacker compromised a critical backend system within our wallet infrastructure, used it to spoof transaction data, and triggered our authorization process to move funds out,” Chen wrote on X.

“Private key compromise has been ruled out.” That distinction matters and points to a less alarming attack vector.

Private key hacks have driven some of the industry’s biggest losses.

The public key is like a bank account number and can be shared so someone can send funds in.

The private key is the secret string that proves ownership and authorizes spending, closer to a password and a vault combination in one.

If those private keys are copied, an attacker can keep signing new transfers and draining funds.

Chen said that is not what happened here.

She described the breach as the digital version of slipping forged withdrawal slips through a bank’s own teller window.
