Information of crypto conference attendees stolen and traded on the market, raising security concerns
A batch of data containing sensitive information of cryptocurrency conference attendees is circulating in the market. These lists may include full names, phone numbers, nationalities, job roles, and companies, as well as personal and corporate social media links. Some lists even include attendees' ticket purchase dates, ticket types, operating systems used for purchases, social media follower counts, cryptocurrency wallet addresses, and information entered in text fields sent to event organizers.
Cointelegraph obtained "samples" of such lists from sellers via Telegram, including four lists of approximately 60 to 100 participants each, seemingly from multiple events, with each list containing different data points about attendees. One seller has access to lists from multiple countries, indicating that the trade of blockchain event attendee data is organized rather than isolated.
Notably, investigations suggest that data resellers may be from Russia. Sellers claim that this data will be used for "marketing and finding clients," and even attempt to justify the sale of "non-leaked" data, asserting that this data "is not sensitive information" and that "most people are open to such marketing."
