Bitget says attackers transferred about $387.5m of crypto assets from the exchange, raising its first estimate by $35.9m after tracing found affected assets on the Zcash and Tron networks.
The exchange says the higher figure does not reflect new unauthorized transfers. Its September 25 update says the vulnerability has been identified and remediated, the incident is contained, and Mandiant and SlowMist are supporting the investigation.
Withdrawals are not back yet.
Bitget plans to restore them in stages: Bitcoin on September 28, Ether on September 29, Tether on September 30, then other tokens, fiat and peer-to-peer service on October 2. Each scheduled start is 08:00 UTC.
Trading and deposits remain available. Bitget says customer balances are unaffected and its protection fund covers the financial impact.
