Hackers steal $30m from crypto exchange Bithumb

South Korean cryptocurrency exchange Bithumb said about $30 million in virtual currencies that it held has been stolen by hackers.

Bithumb said early Wednesday, local time, that all deposit and withdrawal services had been suspended while it transferred all of its crypto assets to a secure cold wallet. It said it would “make up” all losses.
