Crypto Payment Processor CoinsPaid Exploited of Over $6 Million

Crypto Scams Soar: FBI Reports $3.94 Billion Losses in 2023 Bitcoin News
  • The platform has admitted to the attack and said it is looking into the possible breach.
  • The firm disclosed a cyberattack on July 22 that had cost them an estimated $37.3 million.

CoinsPaid, a processor of digital assets and cryptocurrency payment ecosystem, is now dealing with another possible crypto fraud, which might lead to a loss of more than $6 million. Users of the CoinsPaid platform have reportedly suffered massive losses due to fraudulent transactions as per information gathered by on-chain researcher ZachXBT.

The platform has admitted to the attack and said it is looking into the possible breach, but customers still have doubts about the company’s security measures since these problems keep happening. Investors, who were anticipating a quick rebound after the last purported crypto exploits, are now confronted with fresh doubts.

Users should take security measures immediately, at the same time. They should change their passwords often, set up two-factor authentication, and keep a careful eye on their accounts for any unusual behavior.

Prioritizing Security

Similarly, CoinsPaid has reassured its consumers that it is actively addressing the security issue and minimizing the financial effect on impacted users in light of the most recent crypto scam occurrence. But watchdogs may be looking closely at CoinsPaid because of their history of security failures, which may indicate larger problems that need fixing right now.

The Estonian-based Ukrainian company disclosed a cyberattack on July 22 that had cost them an estimated $37.3 million in cryptocurrency. The firm reimbursed customers using its own finances, as stated by CEO Max Krupyshev.

Even while cryptocurrencies have the potential to bring about innovation and financial inclusivity, critics argue that security must take precedence in the industry’s expansion. Prioritizing security measures, performing frequent audits, and implementing safeguards to prevent and mitigate any breaches are of the utmost importance for platforms.
