<\/div>\n

Another day, another data breach.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Swiss Bitcoin Pay, a non-custodial bitcoin payment processor, said that it had to temporarily shut down its servers following a data breach on Monday.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The Neuch\u00e2tel, Switzerland-based company said<\/a> that user funds were safe but customer email addresses, bitcoin addresses and IBANs, transaction history, and hashed passwords were believed to be breached.\u00a0<\/p>\n

A malicious user has likely gained access to Swiss Bitcoin Pay\u2019s internal systems. As a precaution, we are temporarily shutting down our servers while we investigate and secure our infrastructure.<\/p>\n

At this stage, we believe they may have accessed customer email addresses, Bitcoin\u2026<\/p>\n

The announcement comes amid a run of breaches hitting bitcoin and fintech firms. Revolut confirmed<\/a> last week that it handed customer passports, driver\u2019s licenses, verification selfies and transaction histories to an unauthorized party that sent fraudulent requests from a legitimate government agency\u2019s email domain.\u00a0<\/p>\n

And top hardware wallet manufacturer Trezor last week warned<\/a> that a data breach at the third-party marketing platform it uses for sending newsletters was leading criminals to target customers with phishing attacks.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cA malicious user has likely gained access to Swiss Bitcoin Pay\u2019s internal systems \u2026As a precaution, we are temporarily shutting down our servers while we investigate and secure our infrastructure.\u201d Swiss Bitcoin Pay said on Monday.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The company added that; \u201cUser funds are safe, and any amounts owed to users will be fully returned.\u201d<\/p>\n

Swiss Bitcoin Pay did not immediately respond to Bitcoin Magazine\u2019s request for comment.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The company lets businesses accept Bitcoin payments quickly and easily using both on-chain transactions and the Lightning Network.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Criminals have increasingly been targeting data in 2026. Scammers in January were able to get hold of customer information via crypto wallet Ledger\u2019s payment processor Global-e to send phishing emails.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Crypto wallet provider SafePal last month also announced a data breach that involved \u200bunauthorized access to about 39,798 customers\u2019 order information, \u200cincluding personal details such as names, addresses and purchase data.<\/p>\n
