Bithumb, the world’s fourth largest cryptocurrency exchange by volume, confirmed a security breach in South Korea. An unknown hacker hacked the personal computer of a Bitumb employee, from where he stole the details of over 31,800 users.

The company is willing to provide compensation of up to 100,000 won ($897) per affected user until midnight July 5.
