Odaily reports: Bitget stated on X platform that an investigation by Google Cloud's Mandiant into Bitget's September 24 security incident found that attackers gained unauthorized access to certain third-party security devices, then laterally moved into Bitget's exchange wallet environment and obtained access to both warm and hot wallets. The investigation findings are consistent with the attack path previously disclosed by Bitget.
