Cryptocurrency wallet company Trezor reported a breach of personal data affecting about 14,000 users through its shipping provider, ShipMonk.
Trezor’s Wednesday blog post said users who received its products from the US, UK, Sweden, Colombia, Brazil, Italy, and Portugal between May 10 and Aug. 8 were at risk from potential phishing attacks using their personal information. The company reported that 11,742 customers could have had their name, physical address, phone number, and email address compromised, while 1,947 users potentially had their name, city, and email address breached.
“To be clear, our systems were not compromised, and your Trezor device is secure, but the affected customers might be targeted by more sophisticated phishing attempts,” said the company. “Scammers can use the leaked information to send fake emails, make fake phone calls, send fraudulent letters, or potentially impersonate banks, crypto exchanges, or even Trezor.”
