Oh no! TrueCoin’s third-party vendor breach puts TUSD user data at risk!

Possible Data Leak for TUSD Users Due to Third-Party Breach at TrueCoin

The team behind stablecoin TrueUSD (TUSD) has announced a potential data leak, and things are getting as stable as a one-legged stool in an earthquake. It all started when TrueCoin’s third-party vendor got compromised, and certain Know Your Customer (KYC) and transaction history data went careening into the wrong hands. Talk about a data breach that could make your head spin!

Now, before we start panicking and throwing our keyboards out the window, let’s clarify a few things. TrueCoin was the operator of TUSD until July 13, 2023 (ah, the good ol’ days). On October 16, a security team from one of their third-party vendors noticed some suspicious activity within TrueCoin’s organization. It turns out that their support vendor was compromised, and that’s how the data breach happened. Can we just say that this vendor’s security measures were about as effective as a sieve trying to hold water?

Now, here’s the good news: TrueCoin’s internal systems, like Fort Knox, remained untouched and aloof from this whole mess. They even went ahead and cleared their name, saying, “TUSD system is SECURE and not attacked. Both TUSD system and TUSD’s reserves are UNAFFECTED.” Phew, someone’s got their locks bolted tight!

But let’s get back to the not-so-awesome news. When data like names, email addresses, and phone numbers fall into the wrong hands, it’s like offering a buffet to hackers looking to serve a feast of phishing attacks. These sly individuals pose as crypto services, waving their virtual fishing rods, and reeling in unsuspecting investors with promises of high profits. It’s a digital form of bait and switch that’s about as subtle as a bull in a china shop.

Now, it’s time to take a deep breath and count to ten because the impact of this attack is still unknown. The total number of users’ data leaked remains a well-guarded secret, like the recipe for KFC’s secret herbs and spices. Maybe it’s a secret number code, and we need Sherlock Holmes to crack it!

But wait, there’s more! TrueUSD hasn’t responded to the ceaseless ringing of Cointelegraph’s phone. They’re probably busy trying to sort this mess out, but a little communication with the outside world wouldn’t hurt. Hello? TrueUSD, are you there?

In the midst of all this chaos, TrueCoin decided it was time for a drama-free break up with Prime Trust. They went their separate ways when Prime Trust suddenly halted all fiat and cryptocurrency operations. Talk about pulling the rug out from under your partner’s feet!

TrueUSD made sure to let everyone know they were Swiss-level neutral in this whole situation. They stated, “it is not affected by the situation” at Prime Trust. They emphasized their diverse partnerships and the fact that they have “multiple USD rails” elsewhere. It’s like they’ve got more backup plans than a squirrel hiding acorns for the winter.
