🚨 A contractor from a major crypto exchange was taken into custody in India this May following a major security breach. Hackers managed to bribe insiders to steal sensitive customer data—a troubling reminder of how critical infrastructure gets compromised from within.
The fallout could hit $400 million in damages, and authorities are preparing to make additional arrests. This incident underscores the stakes: customer information security isn't just a compliance checkbox, it's a test of whether platforms can truly protect user assets in the Web3 era.

Damn, 400 million just gone like that. The insider really is a scumbag. That's why I still prefer self-custody wallets.

The insider really is the biggest security vulnerability. No matter how strong the technology or how tough the firewall, it can't withstand a greedy employee.

Insiders are more dangerous than hackers, which is why I don't have much confidence in major exchanges...

Insider bribery? To put it simply, it's still a money issue. No matter how strong the security defenses are, they can't prevent someone from stabbing from the inside.
