😳 Hackers are mass-collecting data from cryptocurrency owners.

➥ Data of 39,798 SafePal hardware wallet customers leaked from the manufacturer: names, phone numbers, emails, delivery addresses, and purchase information. In other words, attackers potentially know not only a person’s address, but also what crypto wallet they bought.

➥ Israel’s largest crypto broker, Bits of Gold, reported a data breach that, according to preliminary estimates, may have affected ~200,000 customers. Compromised data included: names, ID numbers, phone numbers, IP addresses, bank details, and public crypto wallet addresses. Funds, private keys, and passwords were not affected.

➥ In France, hackers attacked the tax authority. The incident impacted 678,000 taxpayers, including individuals and companies. Among the stolen data were names and information about income and taxation.

For crypto investors, such leaks are especially dangerous: even without access to wallets, the combination of a name, address, phone number, financial data, and information about crypto ownership creates opportunities for targeted phishing, social engineering, and “coin-gate attacks”.
