A data breach occurred at <a href="https://www.getresponse.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">GetResponse</a>, a third-party email management platform, according to cryptocurrency data aggregator <a href="https://thenewscrypto.com/coingecko-boosts-nft-data-integration-with-acquisition-of-zash-platform/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">CoinGecko</a>.
Attackers were able to access the contact details of more than 1.9 million CoinGecko users after a data breach at GetResponse occurred on June 5. This news comes after yesterday’s revelations of a fresh wave of <a href="https://thenewscrypto.com/toncoin-ton-price-exhibits-massive-upswing-potential-as-bulls-gain-strength/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">crypto</a> airdrop scams. According to CoinGecko’s release on June 7, the security incident happened when an employee’s account was hacked.
CoinGecko stated:
<blockquote class="wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow">
 “An attacker had compromised a GetResponse employee’s account, leading to a breach. We received confirmation from the GetResponse team on 6 June 2024, at 11:58 AM UTC, that a data breach had occurred.”
</blockquote>
Names, email addresses, IP addresses, the locations of email openings, and other information like subscription plans and sign-up dates are among the compromised details.
Passwords and user accounts on CoinGecko are safe and sound. Although CoinGecko’s primary email domain remained unaffected, the hacker was able to send 23,723 phishing emails, according to the company.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-easier-targets">Easier Targets</h3>
Hackers use phishing attempts to gain private keys to cryptocurrency wallets and other sensitive information. One kind of phishing assault is called an address poisoning scam, and its goal is to get investors to transfer funds to a fake address that looks much like one they’ve used before.
Consumers may protect themselves against phishing emails by adding two-factor authentication (<a href="https://www.techtarget.com/searchsecurity/definition/two-factor-authentication" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">2FA</a>) to their crypto platforms and checking the email’s legitimacy as per experts.
When it comes to cryptocurrencies, the most common reasons for hacks are breaches of private keys and personal data since exploiters are focusing on the easiest targets rather than attempting to crack more complicated protocols.
