Bits of Gold, the Tel Aviv-based cryptocurrency broker, said hackers stole personal data tied to roughly 200,000 customers, according to CoinDesk. The company reported the breach on Sunday and said the incident involved unauthorized access to a third-party data analytics network. CoinDesk reports that the exposed information may include customers’ names, national ID numbers, email addresses, phone numbers, IP addresses, bank account details, and public wallet addresses. That mix is sensitive even if it does not directly grant access to crypto wallets: it can support phishing, impersonation, bank-account targeting, or attempts to connect blockchain activity with real-world identities. Bits of Gold said the breach did not involve customer funds or digital assets, according to the report. The company also said private keys, passwords, CVV codes, and scanned identity documents were not exposed. After detecting the incident, Bits of Gold said it blocked access and disconnected the affected system from its information sources. The company’s initial findings indicate the breach was part of a wider global incident that hit other companies at the same time, CoinDesk reports. The cluster does not include a second source confirming that broader campaign, so that point should remain attributed to Bits of Gold. Bits of Gold said its security team has begun a comprehensive investigation with help from a company specializing in cyber incident investigation and response. It also warned customers that it would never ask them for passwords, verification codes, private keys, or fund transfers — a standard post-breach precaution when attackers may use stolen contact and identity data for follow-on scams. CoinDesk places the incident in a short run of crypto-sector data breaches. It reports that nearly 40,000 SafePal users had data stolen after a third-party vendor breach, and that almost 14,000 Trezor wallet customers had personal data exposed on August 13 after fulfillment partner ShipMonk was compromised. Bits of Gold was founded in 2013 and, according to CoinDesk, was the first crypto company in Israel to receive a permanent Financial Services Provider license. CoinDesk reports that the company has more than 250,000 customers, is led by CEO Youval Rouach, and holds SOC 2 Type 2 certification. Who benefits: Attackers benefit if the stolen records can be used for phishing, impersonation, or targeting customers with wallet-specific scams. Incident-response vendors and security teams focused on vendor-risk controls are likely to see renewed attention from crypto platforms. Who's exposed: Bits of Gold customers whose personal, banking, or public wallet-address data was included in the compromised analytics system are exposed. Bits of Gold also faces reputational and operational scrutiny while the investigation proceeds.
