Mailchimp, a veteran email marketing platform, has confirmed that hackers used an internal tool on it platform to steal data from 102 of its clients, with the data being used to send phishing emails to users of cryptocurrency services.

The breach became more apparent when users of the Trezor hardware cryptocurrency wallet reported being targeted by sophisticated phishing emails. Trezor users received emails claimed to be from Trezor, telling them that their accounts were compromised in a data breach. The email included a link to an updated version of Trezor Suite, along with instructions on how to set up a new pin.

Users of Trezor devices have been advised to report any new phishing attempts directly to Trezor, at security@trezor.io.
