Chainalysis says breach exposed password hashes and live tokens

BlockchainБлокчейнA blockchain is a distributed database in the form of a chain of blocks, where each record is cryptographically linked to the previous one, and copies are stored by many network participants. analytics firm Chainalysis has disclosed that attackers in a cyberattack gained access to password hashes and active tokens. According to Cointelegraph, the company initially reported only access to non-sensitive customer data, and the clarification changes the picture of the incident's scale.

The available material does not give details on the number of affected accounts, the timing of the attack or its source. It also does not say whether the compromised tokens have been revoked, which makes it hard to assess the consequences for customers so far.

Editor's take

If the exposed tokens remain active, companies that integrate Chainalysis services should review API access, reissue keys and audit employee accounts. The materials do not yet contain confirmed data on the status of the tokens.
