Gemini

What Happened

In late 2022, data allegedly taken from the Gemini crypto exchange was posted to a public hacking forum. The data consisted of email addresses and partial phone numbers, which Gemini later attributed to an incident at a third-party vendor. The source of the breach was later established as being Twilio who described the incident as stemming from "a sophisticated social engineering attack designed to steal employee credentials". The data was provided to HIBP by a source who requested it be attributed to "ZAN @ BF".
