Cryptocurrency service BlockFi has announced the hacking of Hubspot partner servers and the leakage of personal data. User assets and site systems are secure.
The cryptocurrency service BlockFi warned on Twitter that on March 18 there was a leak of information about users from the database of the partner company Hubspot, which is responsible for interaction with customers.
“Hubspot has confirmed that an unauthorized third party has gained access to certain BlockFi customer data hosted on their platform,” the company said.
BlockFi clarified that the Hubspot partner site stores only limited user data, such as names, email addresses and phone numbers. Previously, attackers used this information to carry out phishing attacks and gain access to accounts using passwords provided by users.
The company stressed that other personal data of users, including passport data and social security numbers, “were never stored on Hubspot.” BlockFi confirmed that customers’ assets and internal system were not compromised. BlockFi is working with Hubspot to investigate the incident to assess the extent of the damage and identify the perpetrators. The service intends to speed up the investigation of the incident in order to determine the extent of the abduction as soon as possible.
“Additional information will be sent by e-mail to all affected customers in the coming days,” BlockFi reports.
The company says that users will be able to protect themselves in the event of theft of stolen information, using strong passwords, two-factor authentication (2FA), a list of trusted applications and vigilance. Investors are advised to be careful with all company messages, especially those that require urgency when requesting / changing personal data, including passwords and wallet addresses.
