Swiss Bitcoin Pay shuts down servers after suspected breach of internal systems

  • The service shut down its infrastructure on September 14 and has not announced a restart date
  • Potentially exposed: email, bitcoin addresses, IBANs, transaction history and password hashes
  • The number of affected accounts and the method of access were not disclosed
  • The company says user funds are safe, with no traces of BTC theft
Why it matters: The leak of email, IBAN and transaction history creates a targeted phishing risk for the service's customers.
