Hardware Wallet Maker Foundation Faces Customer Data Breach
Boston-based hardware-wallet manufacturer Foundation experienced a data breach where attackers hijacked its email infrastructure and sent fake recall notices containing customers' real names, addresses, and purchase details. The company expelled the intruders within ten minutes of user reports, but the personal information raised troubling questions. Foundation’s CEO Zach Herbert acknowledged that some of its backend infrastructure was compromised via a vulnerability in a self-hosted app, likely from previously leaked customer records and recent purchases through its Shopify storefront.
