On-chain sleuth Specter said in a post on X that the time range covered by the stolen data suggests the breach may have occurred as early as April, and no later than early May. Specter said the party involved stayed silent until recently, around the same time Trezor disclosed its own data leak. He also said some users had already received phishing attacks at the time and suffered asset losses, while the party involved neither gave users a warning nor issued a risk notice. Instead, according to Specter, it denied that a data leak had taken place. The post focuses on the timing implied by the compromised dataset and on the response of the party involved, rather than adding further technical details about the breach.
