In his post from his X account, Tether CEO Paolo Ardoino warned that a leading email provider used by cryptocurrency companies may have been compromised.

Stating that he will not share any names until the investigation is completed, Paolo Ardoino stated that investors should be careful about the altcoin airdrop e-mails they receive.

“We have received two independent confirmations that a prominent vendor used by cryptocurrency companies to manage their email lists may have been compromised.

Please be wary of emails offering crypto airdrops received more than 24 hours ago.”

CoinGecko Founder Also Warned!

CoinGecko co-founder and COO Bobby Ong also confirmed this warning and warned investors:

“There is currently an ongoing supply chain email breach attack against an email newsletter vendor. Many crypto companies may be affected by email blasts of fake token launches. Watch out for email newsletters in the coming days.

We at CoinGecko may also have been potentially impacted and are actively working with our vendor to investigate further to determine the scope of this breach.

We have seen phishing CoinGecko emails being sent from other customer accounts. There is no CoinGecko token planned, so don’t be fooled by phishing emails.”

Update:
one other company confirmed.
