Trezor Says Data Breach Affects Another 67k US Customers
Trezor has revealed that a data breach affecting its shipping provider has impacted 67,000 additional US customers, exceeding initial estimates. The breach, which occurred between November 2019 and August 2021, exposed sensitive user data, including names, emails, phone numbers, shipping addresses, and order specifics.
Impact and Concerns:
- Customers’ digital asset holdings may be at risk as attackers could use the information for phishing attacks and social engineering scams, targeting users’ seed phrases.
- Trezor’s systems were not compromised directly, but the breach highlights the vulnerabilities of relying on third-party providers.
- This incident echoes similar data breaches in the crypto industry, where phishing attacks and social engineering scams have led to significant losses.
Previous Estimates:
- In August, Trezor initially estimated that 14,000 users were affected.
- A subsequent report in January 2024 indicated that 66,000 users were potentially at risk of phishing attacks if they had contacted Trezor’s support team since December 2021.
