A recent data breach at the crypto payment processor Transak exposed the information of more than 92,000 people after an employee's laptop was accessed.
The company said on Sunday that "no financially sensitive or critical information was compromised" but admitted that names, birthdays, passports, driver's license information and user selfies were leaked in the breach.
In a statement, the Miami-based company said the incident only affected about 1% of its user base. A "sophisticated phishing attack" granted the attacker access to an unnamed know-your-customer vendor Transak uses for document scanning and verification.
One of the largest cryptocurrency infrastructure providers, Transakd serves nearly six million users across 160 countries and 46 U.S. states. The platform lets users and businesses buу and sеll more than 170 types of cryptocurrency and non-fungible tokens (NFT).
