    Crypto wallet provider SafePal has reported a data breach affecting 39,798 customers who ordered products between 2 March 2025 and 11 April 2026. An authorisation flaw in a plug-in used to track orders apparently enabled unauthorised access to records containing customers\u2019 names, email addresses, physical addresses, phone numbers and purchase details.<\/p>\n

    SafePal said seed phrases, private keys, wallet passwords and other wallet credentials were not compromised. It also said bank account information, payment card numbers and government-issued identification were unaffected, while there was no evidence that the incident had compromised access to wallets or funds. Despite that, the company warned that exposed details could make affected customers targets for more sophisticated phishing and impersonation schemes.<\/p>\n

    Warnings of Scams After Data Breach, Customers to Verify Exposure<\/h3>\n

    Potential scams could involve people posing as SafePal staff and offering firmware updates, refunds or replacement hardware in an effort to obtain wallet credentials. SafePal said it had fixed the vulnerability and introduced additional security measures, while an independent security firm was brought in to audit the fix and examine its order-processing systems.<\/p>\n

    It later began a full review and rebuild of its order-processing pipeline in July and confirmed the underlying cause. Customers can use SafePal\u2019s verification tool to determine whether their information was affected.<\/p>\n
