Hackers Strike User Data Exposed in Heist on Defunct Crypto ATM Firm Coin Cloud

Hackers Allegedly Stole User Data from Defunct Crypto ATM Company Coin Cloud

Hold on to your digital wallets, folks, because there’s some news that’s leaving Bitcoin investors feeling a little less secure than usual. According to the notorious cybersecurity maestro Vx-underground, an anonymous group of hackers has allegedly gotten their sneaky little paws on the personal information of around 300,000 customers from Coin Cloud, the Bitcoin ATM company. Crikey!

But wait, there’s more! These cheeky hackers also claim to have nabbed 70,000 customer selfie verification data. That’s right, they’ve managed to peek into people’s faces and personal lives, gleaning juicy details like occupations, physical addresses, and even social security numbers. Talk about getting up close and personal! And just when you thought it couldn’t get any worse, it turns out they’ve targeted residents of the good ol’ US of A and even folks down in Brazil.

What’s more, rumor has it that these tech-savvy bandits have also seized the source code for Coin Cloud’s back end. It’s like they’re not satisfied with just messing with personal info, they’ve got to go for the whole shebang! As of now, Coin Cloud has yet to make a public statement about this digital disaster. Shh…I hear the sound of frantic typing and hushed conversations in their office.

Naturally, inquisitive minds (and curious journalists) tried to get some answers from Coin Cloud and Vx-underground, but alas, no immediate response. Looks like they’re all keeping their lips zipped tighter than a vault containing a gazillion Bitcoins. Can’t blame them, really.

Speaking of Coin Cloud, you might recall that earlier this year, they filed for bankruptcy. Yep, you heard that right. They were singing the “reorganization” song in a United States bankruptcy court. Apparently, their CEO and president, Chris McAlary, thought it was a jolly good idea to protect their creditors’ interests and sort out their massive debt. The figures are mind-boggling, my friends. Liabilities ranging from $100 million to $500 million, while their assets stood between a modest $50 million and $100 million. Oh boy, someone pass me a calculator, quick!

This just goes to show, whether you’re investing in the wild world of cryptocurrencies or running a Bitcoin ATM company, it’s important to keep your digital fortress guarded and your security walls fortified. So, stay tuned for updates on this heist of the crypto world. And remember, always keep your virtual money tucked safely away like a squirrel hoarding its beloved acorns.
