23,155 NFTs worth $5.7M were almost stolen today
let me explain so your grandma could understand
imagine a building has 23,000 apartments with valuable art inside
someone found out the master key to every apartment door is broken
anyone with the broken key can walk in and take the art
the building manager got the call and rushed to change the locks
but the building has two wings
wing A has an emergency lockdown button. they pressed it. all doors locked instantly
wing B has no lockdown button. the only way to save the art was to physically run room to room and move everything out before the thief got there
it was a race. building manager vs the thief. door by door
they saved most of it. 23,155 pieces of art rescued
but the thief got to some rooms first. 660 pieces gone
this is why "can this contract be paused in an emergency?" is one of the most important questions nobody asks
if there's no emergency button someone has to outrun the attacker
and the attacker always has a head start
At 9AM EST today somebody abused a bug in Payment Processor V2 to steal 10 Meebits, 50 Otherdeeds, 10 WoW, and 235 Desperate Apewives.
It wasn't until over 12 hours later that somebody reported it to me, and upon digging in I realized that a great many NFTs were subject to the same exploit.
I got in touch with the team over at LimitBreak and they quickly paused Payment Processor V3, which was subject to the same exploit. Unfortunately, V2 was not pausable, so the only path towards protecting affected assets was to run a whitehat operation.
Similarly, V3 on ApeChain is temporarily in a state where it cannot be paused, so ApeChain assets approved to V3 needed to be saved as well.
All in all, we rescued 23,155 NFTs worth north of $5.7M USD.
We later discovered that a similar exploit could be used in reverse to steal WETH. 660 WETH was at risk, which we unfortunately were not fast enough to recover. Apologies to those affected.
Shout out to @Boomskite for flagging the initial exploit tx to me, and @coffeedev @0xjustadev and @whiteoakkong for acting quickly and assisting with the recovery.
All NFTs are safely relocated. Soon, owners will be able claim them back after revoking the exploitable approvals.
Addresses to revoke below.

bitget just got hacked for $351.6 million
let me explain so your grandma could understand
imagine you keep your money in a shop's safe because the shop lets you buy and sell things easily
the shop has three safes:
the front counter drawer (hot wallet): cash for daily transactions
the back room safe (warm wallet): extra cash for busy days
the underground vault (cold wallet): the big money. locked. nobody touches it
someone broke into the front counter and the back room safe
$351.6 million taken
the underground vault? untouched
you're standing outside the shop watching through the window. your money is "safe" but you can't touch it
this is what happens when you leave your money on an exchange
the exchange gets hacked. your money gets locked and all you can do is wait and trust their word
the underground vault being safe doesn't help you if your money was in the front counter
this is why i keep saying: exchanges are for trading not for storing
buy. swap. withdraw to your own wallet. done
if your money isn't in your self custody wallet it's not your money. it's a promise
and today 351 million dollars worth of promises are frozen

Actions we have taken:
-Emergency response team activated within minutes of detection
-Abnormal transfer addresses identified, flagged, and reported
-Withdrawals temporarily suspended as a precautionary measure, pending security review
-Law enforcement and on-chain security firms have been formally notified and are engaged
What this means for you:
-Your account balances are accurate and your assets are protected
-Deposits and trading remain fully operational
Withdrawals are temporarily paused and will be restored as soon as the security review is complete
-What comes next: We will provide updates on an hourly basis across this channel and all official platforms. A full incident report โ including root cause analysis and corrective actions โ will be published within 24 hours. We will not speculate on the attack vector until the investigation is complete.
Bitget has navigated multiple market cycles. We will not run from this. Every dollar and every decision will be accounted for, transparently and in full.
Updates will be posted here and across all official Bitget channels as they become available.
