BlockFi, a popular cryptocurrency lending platform, informed its customers on Tuesday that it had a “temporary” data breach, according to Finance Magnates. The breach happened on May 14 and lasted for over an hour before the root cause of the unauthorized intrusion was found and it was stopped, putting some client’s data at risk. However, the platform also stressed that no critical customer data – or funds – were compromised.
