During a recent security attack on the Quinnbis currency exchange, Rooelof Botha, the management partner of the Sequoia Capital, was also disclosed.
According to informed sources, this shows that prominent 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, government identification number, banking information and account details.
In the same vein, Blomberg’s leaked data also included phone number, location address and other sensitive information related to his Quinnbis account.
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 identified since January. Meanwhile, a number of KevinBis users have received warnings about unauthorized access to their accounts last weekends.
Despite the cyber attack, the value of Coin (COIN) yesterday rose 5 percent 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 counteract the attacks due to strong internal controls and instant monitoring.
However, concerns about security vulnerabilities and the possibility of revealing other prominent industry information are still there.
