Bits of Gold, an Israeli cryptocurrency company, announced a cyber incident that occurred several days ago, potentially exposing personal customer information. The compromised data may include full names, ID numbers, email addresses, IP addresses, phone numbers, bank account details, and public crypto wallet addresses. The company stressed that no customer funds, passwords, identity document images, or credit card details were accessed or stolen.

Israeli authorities have been notified, and the company believes it was not a direct target. Bits of Gold promptly blocked unauthorized access and disconnected the affected system, initiating a thorough investigation with cybersecurity experts.
