The hacker accessed the personal information of Liquid’s users. Liquid, the 16th largest cryptocurrency exchange by volume, today disclosed details about a hack that exposed its customers’ personal information, possibly including names, addresses and encrypted passwords.
In a blog post, Mike Kayamori, CEO of the cryptocurrency exchange Liquid, said that hackers on November 13 wrestled control over one of Liquid’s domain names (quoine.com, the site of Liquid’s Japanese parent company), after hacking into its domain name hosting provider.
This allowed the hacker to control company email addresses; now inside the systems, the hacker “was able to partially compromise our infrastructure, and gain access to document storage,” said Kayamori.
