Bitget hack aftermath: security changes and scam tactics

Bitget suffered a hack in which about $388 million was taken. CEO Gracy Chen described the changes the exchange made after the incident. Bitget isolated servers, reissued internal credentials, and required multiple approvals for critical operations. The changes focus on internal access and approval controls. Chen said crypto teams need to run far more checks on third-party vendors than Bitget did. She also described how scammers formed a team posing as a major investment firm to approach her after the hack. The fake investor approach raised the question of whether it came from DPRK or ordinary scammers. North Korea-style social engineering targets public faces in crypto. Chen highlighted why an unfamiliar livestream platform should set off alarms. The scammers built a full team to impersonate an investment firm. That kind of platform is a social engineering red flag. The Bitget hack and its aftermath involve security changes, vendor checks, and social engineering tactics.
