Miami-based cryptocurrency payment processor Transak had data from over 92,000 individuals, or nearly 1% of its user base, compromised following a successful phishing attack against an employee laptop, according to The Record, a news site by cybersecurity firm Recorded Future. Infiltration of the laptop enabled attacker access to Transak’s third-party know-your-customer vendor, facilitating the exposure of clients’ names, birthdates, driver’s license data, passports, and selfies, but not their financially sensitive details, said Transak in a statement on Sunday, which noted an ongoing investigation into the incident.
