? $48M IN SEIZED BITCOIN LOST đ¨
South Korea has reportedly lost $48 million worth of seized $BTC after a government employee was tricked by a phishing scam.
đ The attacker used a fake website
đ Wallet credentials were exposed
đ¸ Around 70 billion won in Bitcoin disappeared
The incident was discovered during a routine audit at the Gwangju District Prosecutorsâ Office, highlighting major weaknesses in how seized crypto assets are stored and protected.
This goes beyond a single mistake â itâs a serious warning for global crypto custody â ď¸
Even government-controlled wallets arenât immune to cyber threats.
đ Authorities are still trying to trace the missing $BTC
đ Markets are paying close attention
âď¸ Regulators may need stricter security standards for seized digital assets
If governments can lose $BITCOIN what does that mean for crypto security overall?
