Hackers targeted Trezor, a cryptocurrency hardware wallet. They used the company’s mailing list to send out fake data breach notifications to users.

Mailchimp, a well-known email marketing platform, has confirmed that hackers used an internal tool to steal data from more than 100 of its customers, with the information being used to launch phishing attacks against cryptocurrency users.

What They Are Saying About The Attack

Mailchimp confirmed the breach to the press on Monday, but users of the Trezor hardware cryptocurrency wallet had reported being targeted by sophisticated phishing emails over the weekend. A false email was sent out to users, requesting that they install an impersonated Trezor Suite software, which would allow them to steal their password (recovery seed).

We’re confident in the security measures and robust processes we have in place to protect our users’ data and prevent future incidents.”

What is Trezor?

The Trezor is a cryptocurrency hardware wallet. It’s a device for securely holding cryptocurrency private keys offline in ‘cold’ storage. When you want to make a transaction you can plug in your Trezor and it will provide the keys to sign off on a transaction, which is done by physically pushing buttons on the device.
