SafePal Says 39,798 Customers Hit by Data Breach
Crypto wallet maker SafePal disclosed a breach exposing order data of 39,798 customers via a plugin authorization flaw; keys and seed phrases unaffected.
SafePal, a Singapore-based cryptocurrency security company, said an authorization flaw in an order-tracking plugin let attackers access order records placed between March 2, 2025 and April 11, 2026. Exposed data includes names, emails, addresses, phone numbers, and purchase details for about 39,798 customers, while seed phrases, private keys, wallet passwords, and payment data were not exposed. A threat actor advertised the same dataset on a cybercrime forum, and affected customers were notified by email on August 16.
