> Bitget says its $351.6 million wallet breach shows hallmarks of North Korean hackers, though the attribution has not been independently confirmed. Investigators are tracing and freezing assets across several blockchains. Any unrecovered losses would be covered by Bitget’s User Protection Fund, potentially consuming about 76% of its stated value, while withdrawals remain suspended.
