Crypto lending platform Celsius Network has suffered a data breach due to the compromise of its Customer.io email service. The Block, the company announced this in an email.

Celsius does not believe the leak poses high risks to users. At the same time, the company noted that the incident was “a serious breach of relations between the supplier and the customer” and contacted the relevant authorities.

Celsius initially assured the Customer.io crypto lending platform that user data was not affected. However, later the service still confirmed that emails from Celsius customers were leaked.

The latter claims to delete all data transferred to Customer.io immediately after the event was reported.

Experts have warned that as a result of the leak, Celsius users could face a wave of phishing attacks.

⚠️ Celsius users should therefore expect phishing emails along the lines of “Verify your wallet to withdraw your funds” that will phish for your SRP/PKey.

Remember, your SRP should be known only to you and only you https://t.co/QYuDhEE7aL

In mid-July, Celsius filed for bankruptcy. Later, the company’s president, Alex Mashinsky, said that as of July 13, the company has $4.3 billion in assets, and its debts to customers and creditors are $5.5 billion.
