Bithumb boosts security in wake of SK Telecom malware hack

Bithumb took action after SK Telecom was attacked with a malware infection that allowed hackers to access sensitive customer information.

The raid follows an investigation into a former Bithumb CEO who allegedly misused $2 million of company money to purchase an apartment.

Cryptocurrency exchanges Upbit and Bithumb were raided on Monday as part of an investigation into a politician who held $4.5M wemix coins.

According to a former Bithumb executive, the exchange has been aggressively listing shady kimchi coins “for a while.”
