Blink offers 3.3 BTC bounty after 6.61 BTC stolen from 24 accounts via security flaw

Blink suffered a security breach on Sept. 19 where an attacker exploited a vulnerability present since October 2023 to steal 6.61 BTC from 24 customer accounts. The flaw allowed anyone with a free Blink account to gain customer-service-level access, take over accounts, and increase withdrawal limits. Partial data from 3,817 accounts was accessed, but sensitive info like passwords and recovery phrases were safe. All stolen funds came from accounts without two-factor authentication; attempts on protected accounts failed. Blink's shareholders reimbursed victims, and a 3.3 BTC bounty is offered to recover stolen funds, with rewards shared between informants and the Bitcoin community.

The story about Blink's security breach and recovery efforts is presented alongside Pluang's market data for major cryptocurrencies. For readers following digital assets, here is Pluang's market snapshot as of Oct 04, 2026 19:21 WIB: out of 50 major cryptocurrencies, 33 rose and 16 fell today.
