The encryption ATM operator Bitcoin Depot disclosed that there was a customer information leak involving 27,000 clients last year.

PANews reported on July 10 that the cryptocurrency ATM operator Bitcoin Depot disclosed a data breach that occurred on June 23, 2024, which resulted in the personal information of 26,732 customers being leaked, including names, phone numbers, driver’s license numbers, and other sensitive information. The company stated that an investigation by a cybersecurity firm confirmed that it was caused by unauthorized access by a third party, but emphasized that “no evidence of customer information being misused was found.” The company explained that the delay in notification was due to the cooperation with the federal law enforcement agency’s investigation requirements, and that the notification process would not be allowed to start until June 13, 2025. Currently, Bitcoin Depot has strengthened security monitoring measures and suggested that affected users set up credit fraud alerts. This is another major data breach incident involving a Crypto Assets ATM operator, following Byte Federal in December 2024.
