A significant security breach has been reported affecting a prominent email newsletter vendor used by several cryptocurrency companies. The breach, which has been ongoing for the past 24 hours, has led to the distribution of phishing emails falsely claiming to offer token airdrops. CoinGecko and Tether have both confirmed the breach and warned users to be cautious of any emails suggesting crypto-airdrops received since 24 hours ago. CoinGecko clarified that it does not issue any official tokens, while Tether's CEO Paolo Ardoino emphasized the need for vigilance. The breach appears to be part of a larger supply chain attack targeting the crypto industry, with fake token launches being a primary concern.
CoinGecko said that its third-party email platform GetResponse suffered a data breach on June 5, with attackers exporting 1,916,596 CoinGecko contacts and sending phishing emails to 23,723 emails. Never click on unfamiliar emails or links. https://t.co/mmAROn9Cga
