🚨 $BTC BETRAYAL: COINONE GAVE NOTICE 3 DAYS AFTER THE DATA THEFT
Coinone, one of South Korea’s largest exchanges, announced today, Sunday, that an attacker accessed the servers of MetaM, the provider that serves its customers, on Thursday and took data from support conversations. To me, the worst part isn’t the theft itself—it’s the silence: the attack began at 4 a.m. on Thursday, and the public notice came today, more than 70 hours later.
Look at the detail no one is noticing:
→ 11 categories of data were exposed: names, phone numbers, email addresses, dates of birth, bank accounts, passwords, identity numbers, home and wallet addresses, and even transaction IDs. Coinone hasn’t said how many customers were affected.
→ The exchange insists that its accounts, trading, and wallets operate separately from MetaM and that there’s no evidence they were accessed, but it has already switched support to email only and blocked the attacker’s IP addresses.
→ Coinone has notified three South Korean regulators and warns that the data could be used for impersonation, voice phishing, and identity theft; it’s asking customers who shared their passwords to change them immediately.
Would you trust an exchange that takes 3 days to tell you your data is in the hands of thieves? 👇
