An unknown threat actor has targeted the email marketing company in a sophisticated scheme to phish physical cryptocurrency wallets.
MailChimp, the well-known email marketing company, has been hacked. Cybercriminals infiltrated the company’s systems at some point last month, stealing information on over 100 users. The criminals then repurposed the stolen data to phish users of the popular crypto walletThe attack, which MailChimp staff became aware of on March 26, involved an unknown threat actor getting its hands on internal tools used by the company’s customer support staff for account administration.
“The incident was propagated by an external actor who conducted a successful social engineering attack on Mailchimp employees, resulting in employee credentials being compromised,” said Smyth. The hacker or hackers then used its access to the company to get its hands on subscriber data. “Based on our investigation, we believe that about 300 Mailchimp accounts were viewed and audience data was exported from 102 of those accounts,” Smyth said.
“As a result of the security incident, we’ve received reports of the malicious actor using the information they obtained from user accounts to send phishing campaigns to their contacts,” he said. The attack appears to have been designed to nab information on people in the crypto and finance industries, Smyth added.
