Bitcoin Depot, an operator of Bitcoin ATMs, is notifying customers of a data breach incident that has exposed their sensitive information.
In the letter sent to affected individuals, the company informs that it first detected suspicious activity on its network last year on June 23.
Although the internal investigation was completed on July 18, 2024, a parallel investigation by federal agencies dictated that public disclosure of the incident should be withheld until it was completed.
“On July 18, 2024, the investigation was complete, and we identified your personal information contained within documents related to certain of our customers that the unauthorized individual obtained,” explains Bitcoin Depot in the letter.
“Unfortunately, we were not able to inform you sooner due to an ongoing investigation. Federal law enforcement requested that Bitcoin Depot wait to provide you notice until after they completed the investigation.”
The type of data that has been exposed in this incident varies from individual to individual and may include:
Full name
Phone number
Driver’s license number
Address
Date of birth
Email address
Bitcoin Depot is one of the largest Bitcoin ATM networks in the United States, operating 8,800 machines in the U.S., Canada, and Australia.
