Bithumb held 'partially responsible' for hacking incident in 2017

So, here's the deal. The hacker pulled off this attack using the data leak from July 7, 2017. They pretended to be a Bithumb Customer Center agent and reached out to some users, tricking them into thinking they were talking to a real employee who needed their info. The scammer sent messages claiming there was a weird login attempt on their accounts and asked for a verification code. Once they got that code, they just cleaned out their balances. Some victims tried to get back $126,000 and $38,000 for the damages from that data breach in 2017. In the end, Jang only managed to get back $5,000 from what they initially sought, which really shows you how little you might recover if a hack hits the exchange where you trade.
