Bits of Gold, Israel's largest regulated cryptocurrency broker, is investigating a data breach that potentially exposed the personal information of up to 250,000 customers.
In an Aug. 16 notice, the company confirmed that an unauthorized party accessed a supporting data-analysis system several days earlier. Bits of Gold said customer funds and digital assets remain secure despite the breach.
The incident prompted Israeli retail and energy giant Paz to temporarily halt Bitcoin purchases on its Yellow convenience store app. Bits of Gold is Israel's first licensed virtual asset service provider.
The company said it is continuing to investigate the scope of the breach.
