South Korea police open probe into Bithumb, Daishin Securities and Mirae Asset hacks

  • —Daishin Securities reported a leak of personal data on 38,490 customers
  • —Bithumb confirmed employee data exposure and is checking for customer records
  • —Mirae Asset says only internal work systems were affected, no client losses found
  • —Police do not rule out the same group behind the 16 bank breaches
Why it matters: The breaches at a major exchange and financial firms heighten scrutiny of Korean crypto security and could speed up stricter data-protection rules.
