Gemini crypto exchange announced this week that customers were targeted in phishing campaigns after a threat actor collected their personal information from a third-party vendor.
The notification comes after multiple posts on hacker forums seen by BleepingComputer offered to sell a database allegedly from Gemini containing phone numbers and email addresses of 5.7 million users.
The Gemini product security team published a short notice that an unnamed third-party vendor suffered an "Incident" that allowed an unauthorized actor to collect email addresses and incomplete phone numbers belonging to some Gemini customers.
In its short report, Gemini underlines that account information and its systems have not been impacted and that funds and customer accounts "Remain secure."
The notification comes after multiple posts on a hacker forum offered to sell a database allegedly from Gemini containing phone numbers and email addresses of 5.7 million users.
Another post under a different username appeared in mid-November, offering databases from multiple crypto exchanges, including one from Gemini that supposedly had the same type of information for 5.7 million users.
