Cryptocurrency broker Bits of Gold said hackers accessed personal data for about 200,000 customers after a breach involving a third-party data analytics provider.

The company reported that the stolen information includes names, national ID numbers, emails, phone numbers, IP addresses, bank account details, and public wallet addresses. Bits of Gold said no funds, passwords, private keys, CVV codes, or scanned ID documents were exposed.

Bits of Gold said it blocked access and disconnected the system from the information sources after detecting the incident. It added that the attack appears to be part of a broader global wave that also hit other crypto firms simultaneously within the past week.

The breach follows similar incidents reported at SafePal, where data from nearly 40,000 users was stolen, and at Trezor, where personal data for almost 14,000 wallet customers was exposed after its fulfillment partner was compromised, according to CoinDesk. Bits of Gold said it is conducting a comprehensive investigation with outside cyber incident investigation and response support.
