Breach Summary
In December 2022, CoinTracker user data was exposed via a compromise of the email provider SendGrid, which affected multiple SendGrid customers. About 1.56 million email addresses (and some partially redacted phone numbers) circulated. CoinTracker stated its own database was not breached, that the phone numbers did not originate from it, and that it does not collect phone numbers.

Breach Impact
Exposure is largely email-only, so risk centers on phishing targeting of crypto users; no financial data was involved.
Exploitation & Downstream Threats
• SIM swap attacks where phone numbers are present | • Targeted phishing campaigns using exposed email addresses
Principal Risk Advisory
What this means for a principal
A financial-institution breach: account, wealth or payment data supports direct fraud and highly credible financial-impersonation scams. For a high-profile principal the main risk is credible impersonation and enrichment of existing exposure.
What You Should Do
- Do not use unofficial 'am I affected' lookups; several are themselves harvesting operations.
How ObscureIQ Can Help
- Corpus confirmation: determine whether and where the principal (plus household and staff) appear in this dataset and which specific fields are exposed for them.
- Exposure mapping: cross-reference the exposed identifiers against broker-available data to size and prioritize the principal's wider footprint.
- ThreatWatch tuned to this incident's identifiers and misuse pattern (impersonation and targeting patterns, not generic credential monitoring).
