Bitget: DPRK Hackers Hit Multi-Chain Hot Wallets

Bitget confirmed a hot wallet breach one hour into its three-hour live stream, hitting ETH, XRP (largest single-chain loss), BNB, AVAX, USDT and USDC on Ethereum, XRP Ledger, Arbitrum, Avalanche, Optimism, BSC and Base. Cold wallets remain untouched while foundations have already frozen several attacker addresses. On-chain signatures align with DPRK Lazarus group tactics seen in the Bitget hot wallet hack DPRK Lazarus group and broader history of crypto exchange multi-chain hacks and asset freezes. The exchange holds over $1 billion in proprietary assets plus a $464M+ verifiable Protection Fund, ensuring 1:1 user coverage; Bitget Wallet infrastructure stayed isolated and unaffected.
