🔔 Ding Ding Ding! Bitcoin enthusiasts, we've got some news! Crypto-friendly Evolve Bank and Trust has been hit by a massive data breach, with 33 terabytes of user data stolen. 😱

While the bank assures us that customer funds are safe, the hackers may have gotten their hands on sensitive customer info. 😓

The culprits? None other than the notorious Russian ransomware group Lockbit. And guess what? The stolen data reportedly includes personal info of Bitfinex users. 😲

This breach has exposed data from over 155.5k accounts linked to companies like Bitfinex, Nomad, and Copper Banking. The stolen info includes names, addresses, social security and tax ID numbers, dates of birth, account balances, and email addresses. 😨

Evolve Bank revealed that the breach was due to "unauthorized activity" in late May, caused by an employee clicking a malicious link. The bank claims to have halted the attack within days. 🛑

But here's the kicker: Evolve allegedly delayed notifying affected companies and users until the breach became public knowledge last week. 🤔

So, while we remain bullish on Bitcoin, let's remember to stay vigilant about our data security, folks! 💪🔒🚀
