Scammers target hundreds of thousands of crypto owners after Trezor confirms data breach of email provider

Third-party breaches at Trezor's email and shipping vendors exposed customer data, fueling phishing campaigns targeting hundreds of thousands of crypto wallet owners.

Trezor confirmed that a breach at Brevo, its marketing email provider, exposed customer contact data and let hackers send roughly 347,000 phishing emails claiming a fake 'STM32 Entropy Vulnerability' and asking victims for their wallet backup password. Brevo said attackers accessed 138 accounts by abusing overly broad, improperly scoped access privileges. Trezor was also hit weeks earlier by a breach at shipping partner ShipMonk that exposed names, phone numbers, email addresses, and postal addresses of at least 81,000 wallet buyers. Trezor stated its own products, wallets, and account systems were unaffected and warned customers to expect further phishing attempts.

ID verification giant IDScan confirms data breach with more than 150 million driver’s licenses stolen

ID verification firm IDScan confirms hackers stole over 150 million driver's license records, including names and license numbers, from its cloud.

IDScan confirmed that threat actors stole driver's license records — full names, license numbers, and other government ID numbers — from the company's cloud systems during a roughly year-long intrusion. Brian Krebs previously reported a dark web service exposing data on over 150 million US and Canada residents, including license photos and records of high-profile individuals such as Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth. The FBI is investigating, and IDScan indicated hackers apparently demanded payment for full access to the stolen cache; the investigation is ongoing.

It sure looks like hackers breached a major ID card verification service

Suspected breach of ID verification firm IDScan exposed over 150 million US and Canadian driver's licenses and passports, sold via dark web site Nexus.

Independent journalist Brian Krebs reported that a dark web site called Nexus is selling searchable access to more than 150 million driver's licenses and passports belonging to people in the United States and Canada, adding roughly 500,000 documents daily from a 'major identity verification company.' Krebs and researcher Zach Edwards identified Louisiana-based identity verification service IDScan as the likely source; Krebs' own license and Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth's records appeared in the database. The FBI confirmed it is looking into the incident and IDScan says it is investigating; Nexus went offline shortly after the report went live.

Legacy Lenovo login opens 5,000 Dropbox accounts to attackers

Dropbox warned about 5,000 users that attackers abused a legacy Lenovo ID login integration to access accounts and files between August 4 and 21.

Attackers exploited an integration allowing Dropbox access via Lenovo IDs, registering Lenovo IDs with Dropbox users' email addresses due to a flaw in Lenovo's email verification process. The compromise lasted from August 4 to 21; attackers accessed files belonging to fewer than a third of the roughly 5,000 affected users, none of whom had 2FA enabled. Bitcoin security company Casa co-founder Jameson Lopp reported attackers attempted to access one locally encrypted file. Dropbox expired all Lenovo ID sessions, severed the integration link, and urged affected users to reset passwords and enable 2FA while Lenovo's investigation continues.

Veradigm warns of patient data breach after ransomware gang claims attack

Healthcare vendor Veradigm disclosed a patient data breach via a third-party vendor's credentials, which the Gentlemen ransomware gang claims involved 3.5 million records.

Veradigm, formerly Allscripts, told the SEC that an attacker used compromised credentials from a third-party vendor to access a customer-service API and copy patient data, including personal details and Social Security numbers, without touching clinical data or the broader network. The Gentlemen ransomware group listed Veradigm on its leak site claiming 3.5 million patient records and threatened to publish the data by September 11 unless ransom negotiations start. The gang, active since mid-2025, runs double extortion across Windows, Linux, NAS, BSD and ESXi, lists 800+ victims in 86 countries, and has been linked to a SystemBC proxy botnet and the GentleKiller EDR killer. Veradigm is notifying affected individuals, offering credit monitoring, and says it does not expect a material business impact.
