For the 300,000 Celsius users with funds frozen in their accounts — some of which could be permanently inaccessible — a new update from the ailing crypto exchange won’t inspire much confidence. This week, the company notified a portion of its user base about a data breach that has led to “a list of Celsius client email addresses,” being “transferred to a third-party.” Yikes.
Customer.io, an email marketing platform, had noted in a blog post that a rogue employee leaked client email addresses to what is described as a “third-party bad actor.” The platform was a vendor for Celsius and some of the latter’s user emails were part of this data breach.
