A data breach occurred at GetResponse, a third-party email management platform, according to cryptocurrency data aggregator CoinGecko.
Attackers were able to access the contact details of more than 1.9 million CoinGecko users after a data breach at GetResponse occurred on June 5. This news comes after yesterday's revelations of a fresh wave of crypto airdrop scams. According to CoinGecko's release on June 7, the security incident happened when an employee's account was hacked. Names, email addresses, IP addresses, the locations of email openings, and other information like subscription plans and sign-up dates are among the compromised details.
Passwords and user accounts on CoinGecko are safe and sound. Although CoinGecko's primary email domain remained unaffected, the hacker was able to send 23,723 phishing emails, according to the company. Hackers use phishing attempts to gain private keys to cryptocurrency wallets and other sensitive information.
