The company attributed the incident to an authorization flaw in its order-tracking system, which allowed one user to view another customer's order information. SafePal said the exposure spanned from March 2, 2025, to April 11, 2026.
SafePal stated that the breach did not affect cryptocurrency funds, seed phrases, private keys, wallet passwords, bank account or payment card information, or government-issued identification numbers. CoinDesk similarly reported that private keys, seed phrases and crypto assets remained secure.
