Another Crypto Data Leak Underscores Industry’s Security Gaps
11.10.2025 17:00 2 min. read Alexander Zdravkov
Crypto platform Shuffle has launched an internal investigation after a data leak traced to its messaging partner, Fast Track, compromised user information.
Founder Noa Dummett confirmed the issue on X, noting that the majority of users were likely affected. Although the scope of the exposed data remains unclear, the company is now replacing its customer relationship provider and tightening access controls across third-party integrations.
With Shuffle ranking among the 15,000 most-visited websites globally, the breach could have far-reaching implications. Analysts warn that even limited data exposure – such as email addresses – can fuel targeted phishing campaigns or social engineering attacks that often lead to crypto theft.
This latest breach joins a series of security lapses that have recently hit the crypto space. Over the past few months, Discord, Bitcoin Depot, and several Coinbase-linked services have also reported leaks or unauthorized disclosures, underscoring how peripheral systems, not blockchains, are often the true weak points.
Experts caution that such data spills can also create real-world dangers, exposing investors to coercion and so-called “$5 wrench attacks” – physical crimes aimed at forcing access to crypto wallets. As a result, demand for off-chain security solutions has been rising among digital asset holders seeking greater personal protection.
The Shuffle case serves as yet another reminder that in crypto, the biggest vulnerabilities frequently lie outside the code – in the people, systems, and companies that support it.
