On September 22, a recent report by Bloomberg Businessweek revealed that the cryptocurrency trading platform Crypto.com suffered a previously unreported attack in which a teenager and his accomplices accessed employee accounts.
Bloomberg's report focused on Noah Urban, a member of the cybercrime gang Scattered Spider. Urban specializes in using phishing attacks to target employees of telecommunications, technology and cryptocurrency companies, with the aim of giving Urban and his associates access to secure data. One of Urban's successful attacks was done with the help of another hacker named Jack, who managed to gain access to the account of Crypto.com employee. The attack occurred sometime before March 2023, when Urban was the target of an FBI raid that seized $4 million worth of Urban's cryptocurrency, as well as hundreds of thousands of dollars in cash and jewelry.
A spokesperson for Crypto.com said the breach affected the personal information of a very small number of people and did not involve any customer funds.
