A cryptocurrency phone maker is warning customers after suspending its third-party marketing email account over unauthorized access.
Solana Mobile says the access happened during a wider security incident at email provider Brevo.
The incident is part of a larger breach at Brevo that affected 138 customer accounts through a Security Assertion Markup Language Single Sign-On (SAML SSO) vulnerability.
Says Solana Mobile,
“Our third-party marketing email provider, Brevo, experienced a security incident affecting some customer accounts, including Solana Mobile. We identified unauthorized access to our Brevo account, disabled the account, and are working with Brevo to understand the scope of information accessed. To our knowledge, no emails were sent from the Solana Mobile account, but we are continuing to verify with Brevo. A reminder that Solana Mobile will never ask for your seed phrase, private keys, or wallet recovery details.”
Solana Mobile builds crypto-focused smartphones for the Solana ecosystem.
Meanwhile, Brevo says that a handful of customer accounts were used for malicious purposes.
“Six of those accounts were used to send phishing emails to the contacts stored there, and for 43 accounts, they exported the contacts. 93 accounts have no meaningful activity.
The attacker no longer has access…
These messages were sent through legitimate infrastructure, so they passed the usual email authentication checks and looked genuine.
We’ve disabled all links in those emails, but as a preventive measure, please do not click them.
Customers trust us with access to their audiences, and in this case we failed to protect it.”
