Crypto.com CEO Kris Marszalek denied reports that alleged it failed to disclose a 2023 breach that exposed user data, calling it ”misinformation.”
A Bloomberg report said that hacker Noah Urban, tied to the Scattered Spider group, accessed a Crypto.com employee account early last year, exposing some user data.
Blockchain investigator ZachXBT later claimed the company tried to cover up the breach and suggested multiple data compromises.
Marszalek denied the claims, saying the incident was fully reported to regulators and involved only limited personal information, with no customer funds at risk.
He added that&nbsp;false stories were spreading online from uninformed sources and said suggestions of a cover-up were “completely unfounded.”

This comes as crypto exchanges face heightened scrutiny on security and transparency after Coinbase disclosed a major data leak earlier this year.

Crypto.com told CoinTelegraph that it filed a formal “Notice of Data Security Incident” in the US Nationwide Multistate Licensing System. It also informed other regulatory bodies. 
It also said the breach was caused by a phishing attack on one employee and added that the incident was caught quickly, with no customer funds touched or at risk. The exchange denied hiding any information from regulators or the public.
