A data breach has been reported at Bits of Gold, Israel's largest regulated cryptocurrency broker. The news was originally disclosed by Calcalist. Bits of Gold became the first Israeli company to obtain a VASP/financial services license in 2022, and was approved to issue BILS stablecoins pegged to the Israeli shekel 1:1 in April 2026.
Report divergence
1. The total number of customers and whether 200,000 represents all users
Bits of Gold serves more than 200,000 customers in Israel, which means that the leak may affect almost all users of the platform. -- CryptoBriefing (2026-08-16 10:14)
Bits of Gold claims that it has more than 300,000 customers and operates under Israeli financial supervision with license number 56716. -- crypto.news (2026-08-16 14:08)
How to conclude: Bits of Gold needs to announce its own customer numbers or regulatory documents filed with the Capital Markets, Insurance and Savings Administration.
2. Whether the number of 200,000 affected customers is a confirmed number
A hacker stole the personal data of about 200,000 customers from Bits of Gold, and this leak may endanger all platform users. -- CryptoBriefing (2026-08-16 10:14)
Bits of Gold is investigating a data breach that may expose personal information of approximately 200,000 customers. -- Coinfomania（2026-08-16 14:01）
Reports circulating on Sunday put the number of potentially affected customers at about 200,000, but should be treated with caution. The customer notice reproduced by Calcalist did not say how many records were visited, and the company's website showed that it had more than 300,000 customers. Bits of Gold has not publicly confirmed that 200,000 people were affected. -- crypto.news (2026-08-16 14:08)
How to conclude: Bits of Gold official statement is required to confirm the number of affected records, or regulatory disclosure is required.
Conclusion
can confirm that Bits of Gold is Israel's first licensed cryptocurrency broker and that the data breach did exist; however, the number of 200,000 affected customers should be considered unconfirmed until Bits of Gold publishes its own specific record access number.
