Dutch exchange Bitonic hit by hacker attack
- —Three client accounts were affected; the BTC amount was not disclosed
- —Attackers altered system data, including login credentials for two accounts
- —Hot wallet was shut down; cold wallets remained secure
- —Bitonic reimbursed losses and urged clients to switch to TOTP-based 2FA
Why it matters: The breach highlights credential-compromise risk at European exchanges and pushes users toward hardware-based two-factor authentication.
