Woofun AI reports that Gate has released an investigation regarding recent security rumors, confirming that the incident stemmed from the leakage of a customer's external real-name information, Alipay account, and device permissions rather than a platform data breach. The exchange stated that the applicant successfully bypassed multi-factor verification using externally obtained data, which the platform did not previously hold.

Gate has prioritized the incident by tracing fund flows and mobilizing security, legal, and compliance teams for comprehensive on-chain analysis and asset tracking. The platform is coordinating with Tether and other third-party institutions to advance legal processes for fund freezing, emphasizing that its internal four-tier verification system was not compromised.
