An as-yet-unidentified group of hackers has thrown the cryptocurrency industry into chaos by claiming to have compromised the security of over 300,000 users of Bitcoin ATM company Coin Cloud.

This alarming revelation not only puts the privacy of those affected at risk, but also raises serious questions about the online security of financial platforms.

A dark cyber threat looms over Coin Cloud as a group of hackers claims to have gained access to critical information, including 70,000 customer selfies and sensitive personal data.

The news, shared by security expert vxunderground, highlights the scale of the attack, which compromises sensitive data such as social security numbers, dates of birth, addresses and more.

The crisis deepens when it is discovered that the infiltration affects both American and Brazilian users, expanding the scope of the massive theft.

The company, which operated more than 4,000 Bitcoin ATMs in both countries, had already declared bankruptcy in February 2023, after facing significant losses.
