Cryptocurrency data collection company CoinGecko experienced a data breach on June 5 through GetResponse, a third-party email marketing platform.

The attackers exported nearly 2 million contacts from CoinGecko’s GetResponse accounts after compromising the accounts of GetResponse employees, CoinGecko explained in a statement. Malicious actors then sent 23,723 phishing emails from other GetResponse client accounts. No malicious emails were sent from CoinGecko’s domain.

Although CoinGecko user accounts and passwords were kept secure, the incident resulted in data leaks including usernames, emails, IP addresses, and locations where emails were opened.

“We are actively investigating this situation and notifying all affected users through GetResponse,” CoinGecko said in a statement. “We are also thoroughly reviewing our security procedures and will work with our suppliers to strengthen their security protocols.”

In the meantime, CoinGecko recommends that users pay attention to emails requesting airdrops and avoid clicking on links or downloading attachments in unsolicited emails, as well as other security practices.

Earlier this year, hackers compromised CoinGecko’s X account and promoted a suspicious airdrop for cryptocurrency GCKO, The Block previously reported.

The Block reached out to CoinGecko for comment on the June 5 data breach.
