Bitget CEO: This platform attack was not due to a key leak, no exact time for withdrawal resumption yet.

BlockBeats news, September 25: Bitget CEO Gracy Chen stated in a public livestream regarding the platform's attack incident that the platform is currently preparing to resume withdrawals, but there is no exact timeline for restoration yet. Bitget's internal and external technical teams are simultaneously identifying the issue and developing solutions, hoping to restore related services as soon as possible.

Gracy Chen said that the attack method in this theft incident differs from security incidents previously occurring on some trading platforms. According to the current investigation, the hackers did not carry out the attack through key leakage, but bypassed some systems and initiated withdrawals through the system. She stated that key leakage is the worst-case scenario, but this incident is not that.

Due to the involvement of multiple currencies and blockchain networks in this incident, Bitget is temporarily unable to directly open withdrawals and needs to restore them after confirming that funds are completely safe and formulating a more reliable handling plan. Gracy Chen said that the platform has currently completed comprehensive loss containment, and no further attacks will occur; withdrawals will be reopened once the security issue is handled with greater certainty.
