Hey folks!! If you use a Gnosis Pay branded card, you really should check your email this week!!!
The official blog (November 6) said that on November 3, monitoring detected unauthorized access to an old system powering the “Gnosis Pay branded card,” exposing some users’ information. The security team began containing the breach within two hours, rotated the affected credentials, and patched the vulnerability. Customer funds were not affected, and the enterprise platform providing white-label cards for other projects was not impacted. This legacy system for consumer-facing services was already scheduled to be taken offline on December 20.
Notifications shared by users and seen by CoinDesk / Cointelegraph said that the information potentially exposed included card numbers, home addresses, and wallet addresses linked to accounts—meaning real-world identities could be linked to on-chain addresses. The company has not disclosed how many people were affected, but says it has emailed each affected user with details of exactly what information from their account was exposed.
Online payments now require 3D Secure, and this will remain in place until the system is retired on December 20. The company also warned: if you get an unexpected email, text, or call—even if it contains your real information and actual transactions—don’t click any links. They will never ask for your seed phrase, private key, PIN, or full card number, and they will never ask you to “verify your identity” or transfer your crypto!!!
Honestly, this is another weak link in the third-party layer this week. Keplr exposed private keys through social login; this time, card details and home addresses were linked to wallets. Just because no money was stolen doesn’t mean it’s fine—the biggest concern now is phishing attempts that use your real information.
CoinGecko has Bitcoin at around 75,900 and ETH at around 2,235 right now; the market is still choppy this weekend. But this has nothing to do with price movements—check your email and watch out for phishing first.
Anyone here use a Gnosis Pay card? Have you received a notification?
