Gnosis Pay breach exposes card details, personal data and crypto wallet information

The crypto debit card provider said customer funds remained safe despite the exposure of sensitive financial and personal information.

Crypto-linked Visa debit card provider Gnosis Pay disclosed a security breach on Friday that exposed customers’ payment card details, home addresses and cryptocurrency wallet addresses.

Gnosis Pay said it detected unauthorized access to its legacy consumer card system on Nov. 3 and began containing the breach within two hours. The company said customer funds and its separate enterprise platform, which powers white-label card programs, were unaffected.

According to breach notifications reviewed by Cointelegraph, the company identified exposed information including full payment card numbers, expiration dates, CVV codes, customer names, home addresses and wallet addresses linked to affected accounts. The compromised data also included email addresses, phone numbers, nationalities and, in some cases, banking details such as IBAN and BIC information.
