How the facts developed

  1. Bithumb's statement (reported by the press on October 29, 2026): names, mobile numbers, email addresses, resident registration numbers, driver's licence numbers, account numbers and ID card copies of 844 customers leaked, with different items for each customer
  2. FSC release: Bithumb reported signs that data of employees of Bithumb, its subsidiaries and partner firms leaked after abnormal outside access to a system that supports staff work; whether user data leaked is still being checked, and no leak of wallet addresses or other data usable for unauthorised payments or crypto transfers has been found so far
