UK: Customer Data Leaked in Possible Bitcoin Vendor Breach

Posted on July 23, 2015 by Dissent

Stan Higgins reports:

A UK bitcoin vendor may have suffered a security breach, temporarily exposing customer data to the public.

Visitors to the website for CoinCut, based in London, were able to access directories that included images of passports, credit and debit cards and personal IDs. The site was taken offline, and it is unclear how long the information was publicly available.

CoinCut representative Dax Chan said that the team is “treating this as malicious”, adding that further investigation is taking place at this time.

      At this point, there’s not enough about bitcoin breaches to warrant that. In the meantime, you can use the search box for “bitcoin” although that will return all posts referencing bitcoins and not just bitcoin vendor breaches.
