Chainalysis Confirms Breach Exposed User Credentials and Passwords

Chainalysis confirmed a security breach that exposed user credentials, including password data and authentication tokens, and is requiring all users to reset passwords to protect account access. The exposed information included users’ names and usernames, password hashes and valid authentication tokens. Some plaintext passwords were also leaked. An Oct. 30 alert flagged abnormal activity without confirming the breach’s full scope; a Nov. 6 update disclosed additional details. Chainalysis is also requiring API key rotation where necessary. It suspended its Know Your Transaction (KYT) monitoring and address-screening services as a precaution.
