Bits of Gold, Israel’s largest crypto broker, said hackers broke into a third‑party analytics system and stole personal information from roughly 200,000 customers. The company stressed that its own cryptocurrency holdings and customer funds were not touched.
The compromised data may include names, national ID numbers, email addresses, phone numbers, IP addresses, bank account details and public wallet addresses. Bits of Gold said it cut off the affected system from its information sources as soon as it detected the breach. Private keys, passwords, CVV codes, scanned ID documents and digital assets were not exposed, the company added.
An initial investigation indicates the incident may be part of a broader cyberattack that hit multiple companies around the same time, Bits of Gold said. The broker has brought in a specialist cybersecurity firm to lead the probe.
