Bits of Gold, Israel's largest crypto broker, has disclosed a data breach that may have exposed the personal information of 200,000 customers. The company said funds and digital assets were not touched, but names, bank account details, and national ID numbers could be in the hands of attackers. Bits of Gold described the incident as part of a wider global attack.
What was exposed
The breach appears to be limited to customer data, not crypto holdings. Bits of Gold said the compromised information includes names, bank account numbers, and national ID numbers. The company didn't say whether all 200,000 customers had every piece of data exposed, or whether any of it was actually taken. It also hasn't said when the breach was discovered or how long attackers had access.
The global attack claim
Bits of Gold said the attack was part of a larger campaign targeting multiple companies worldwide. The broker didn't name any other victims or offer evidence to support that claim. That's a detail customers will likely want more on — if the breach came from a broader operation, it could explain how the company was hit and whether the stolen data is being shared.
Unanswered questions
Bits of Gold hasn't said how the attackers got in, whether they extracted the data or simply had access, or what steps the company has taken beyond securing its systems. It also hasn't said whether it will offer credit monitoring or identity theft protection. For a broker holding national ID numbers — a key piece of identity in Israel — that's a gap that could matter for months.
The company has not provided a timeline for further updates. Customers are left waiting for details on what happened and what they should do next.
