SlowMist Traces Bitget Hack to Aug. 31 Zero-Day Exploit

The key shift here is from a single breach to a prolonged intrusion: attackers had weeks of dwell time before funds moved, which reframes exchange security as a detection problem as much as a perimeter one. The involvement of two security products and a custom withdrawal tool points to gaps in how defenses and internal tooling interact, not just a missed patch. The open question is whether this timeline forces a rethink of how exchanges audit vendor claims and monitor privileged withdrawal flows.
