Gnosis Pay flags data breach in legacy card system, says funds are safe

Gnosis Pay disclosed a data breach affecting its legacy card system, exposing certain customer information. The company said customer funds were not affected, according to an alert from Cointelegraph.

The wording points squarely at older card infrastructure rather than the whole operation. Gnosis Pay did not say how many customers were caught up in the incident or spell out which pieces of personal data were exposed.

That information gap is the story for now. Until the company fills in the scope, affected users are left guessing whether names, contact details, payment-linked data or something else slipped out.

Breaches at card and payments providers tend to put customers on alert for phishing attempts that lean on real personal details. Gnosis Pay has so far offered no timeline and no account of how the exposure happened.

The funds-not-affected line is the reassuring half of the disclosure. It also draws a clean line between the money customers hold and the data attached to their accounts.

More is expected as Gnosis Pay works through the incident and reaches out to the customers whose information was involved.
