The exchange's technical team reports that vulnerabilities linked to the attack have been resolved. Bitget is currently conducting final security audits with support from cybersecurity firms Mandiant and SlowMist. While the platform maintained trading and deposit functions throughout the suspension, it emphasized that customer account balances remain intact. The exchange plans to cover the financial impact of the theft using its $464 million protection fund.
Following the initial Bitcoin restart, the platform will enable Ether withdrawals on September 29, followed by USDT on September 30. Remaining tokens, fiat services, and peer-to-peer transactions are slated for October 2. CEO Gracy Chen has noted potential parallels to previous attacks linked to North Korean actors, though no formal attribution has been established by government agencies. Security researchers tracking the stolen funds have identified significant USDC movements, prompting questions regarding the ability of issuers like Circle to freeze assets involved in such exploits.
