Gemini Database

In 2022, the Gemini cryptocurrency exchange database was compromised, leading to the exposure of sensitive user information. The leak affected over 5.7 million users, with their email addresses, usernames, IP addresses, phone numbers, and other personal data being compromised.

The breach was discovered by cryptocurrency security firm Peckshield, which analyzed the leaked data and found that a database containing customer information had been left unsecured on a cloud server. The database was accessible by anyone with the appropriate link, leading to concerns about potential fraud, identity theft, and other malicious activities.
