Crypto-exchange Liquid reported a leak of customer data

Cryptocurrency exchange Liquid, on behalf of its CEO Mike Kayamori, today announced a "security incident" on November 13.

According to the exchange, the hosting provider transferred control of its account and domain to an attacker who was able to change DNS records and take control of several internal email accounts.. Later this led to "partial compromise of the infrastructure and gaining access to the document repository".

The exchange explains the delay in disclosing information about the attack by the desire to understand the situation and establish the possible impact on users. She states that the assets and cryptocurrency storage on the platform were not affected..

Presumably, the attacker was able to gain access to the personal data of customers, including email addresses and real addresses, names, and encrypted passwords. Whether the attack affected users' verification documents, Liquid cannot yet report.

The company warns that stolen data can be used to launch phishing attacks on its customers and recommends that they change passwords and two-factor authentication codes as soon as possible. She also claims that she notified the responsible authorities about the incident and intends to continue working with them in the coming days..
