 <p>In late Sept. 2023, Alex Svanevik, the CEO of Nansen, said that some of the firm’s clients were exposed due to a hack on a third-party vendor.</p>
 <p>The unnamed vendor, who serves “many Fortune 500 companies,” suffered a hacker attack, granting a malicious actor admin rights to an account used by Nansen for customer platform access. Svanevik added that nearly 7% of Nansen’s customers could have been affected by the hack.</p>
