Decrypt reports Bitget hack as headline and URL give conflicting loss figures
Decrypt reports a hack at Bitget
Decrypt published a report dated September 24, 2026 with the headline “Bitget Hacked as $350 Million Vanishes From Crypto Exchange Wallets.” The web address of that same story, however, refers to $183 million. Bitget is a cryptocurrency exchange, meaning a platform where people buy, sell and store digital assets.
The body of the report was not included in the material provided to Newisty. Because of that, the details behind the headline cannot be checked against the supplied sources, and no official statement from Bitget was available.
What the headline and the web address say
- Decrypt's headline states that $350 million disappeared from Bitget exchange wallets.
- The web address of the same story refers to $183 million.
- The report carries a publication date of September 24, 2026.
- No method of attack, list of affected assets, or customer impact figure appears in the supplied material.
- No statement from Bitget or any other primary source was included.
What is confirmed
The confirmed points from the supplied material are limited. Decrypt published a story dated September 24, 2026 about a hack at Bitget, and the headline says $350 million vanished from wallets. That amount is a reported figure from the headline, not something confirmed by an official source in the material.
The link to the story gives a different amount, $183 million. Based on what was supplied, Newisty could not establish which of the two figures is correct.
What is still unclear
- The exact amount taken, since the headline and the web address disagree.
- How the reported hack happened.
- Which wallets or assets were involved.
- Whether customer funds were affected.
- Whether Bitget has responded, and what it said.
Why the missing details matter
For people who keep funds on an exchange, the size of a loss and whether customer money is involved are the facts that matter most. Here, the supplied material offers only a headline and a conflicting figure in the link, so the scale of the incident cannot be judged from it.
