While light on details as to the financial impact, it seems as though South Korea’s digital currency exchange, Bithumb, has been hacked via one of its employees PCs at home. It claims that passwords were not stolen, but “personal data” on 30,000 customers was compromised.



Fortune has bit more depth on the hack (beware auto-start video).

Bithumb said its corporate network had not been compromised and that the reason for the wallet thefts had to do with phishing attacks.
“The employee PC, not the head office server, was hacked. Personal information such as mobile phone and email address of some users were leaked. However, some customers were found to have been stolen from because of the disposable password used in electronic financial transactions,” the exchange said in statement, per a translation provided by Brave New Coin, a website that tracks digital currencies.
