Coinsquare Data Incident
Just got this in my mailbox:
We are contacting you about a recent data incident and we recommend the below security measures. We note that your assets have always been, and remain, secure in cold storage and are not at risk.
What happened
On November 19th, Coinsquare observed unusual activity in our systems, which led us to suspend the platform temporarily in order to thoroughly investigate. We identified an intrusion and took immediate steps to block access points. We have now safely brought our platform back to full functionality.
As a result of this incident, we believe that a customer database with personal information was exposed and may have been accessed by a third party. This personal information is limited to: customer names, email addresses, residential addresses, phone numbers, dates of birth, device IDs, public wallet addresses, transaction history, and account balances. No passwords were exposed. We have no evidence any of this information was viewed by the bad actor, but in an abundance of caution we wanted to make you aware.
