Gopax data breach puts Korean exchange security under scrutiny amid AI hacking threat

  • —Breach affected nine accounts: seven customers and two Gopax employees
  • —Gopax issued an apology on Oct. 16, a month after the intrusions began
  • —Upbit, Coinone and DigitalX reported no shortcomings in a 12-point self-audit
  • —Bithumb and Gopax flagged gaps in applying the latest security patches
Why it matters: Korea's regulator plans a full security review and AI-based vulnerability tools, raising pressure on local exchanges to harden defenses.
