During a rece security attack on the Quinnbis currency exchange, Rooelof Botha, the manageme partner of the Sequoia Capital, was also disclosed.
According to informed sources, this shows that promine digital currency industry executives are specifically targeted by cyber attacks.
As reported in previous reports by Ramsar News, hackers have been able to access users’ information by paying bribes to some customer support staff in India.
The stolen information included the full name, the date of birth, address, citizenship, governme ideification number, banking information and accou details.
In the same vein, Blomberg’s leaked data also included phone number, location address and other sensitive information related to his Quinnbis accou.
Following the security breach, the attackers made a $ 5 million request in exchange for the information, but Kevinbis has rejected the request.
The suspicious activities of some employees have been reported to have been ideified since January. Meanwhile, a number of KevinBis users have received warnings about unauthorized access to their accous last weekends.
Despite the cyber attack, the value of Coin (COIN) yesterday rose 5 perce to $ 1.5, indicating investors’ trust and optimism about the company’s long -term vision.
Meanwhile, reports suggest that other exchanges, such as Binens and Krake, have also been targeted by similar attacks, but have been able to coueract the attacks due to strong iernal corols and insta monitoring.
However, concerns about security vulnerabilities and the possibility of revealing other promine industry information are still there.
