According to Crypto Briefing, scammers exploited SafePal customer data leaked in August to send phishing letters with malicious QR codes to Italian users on November 13. The fraudulent letters claimed to address firmware security issues and directed recipients to phishing websites. SafePal confirmed the attack and took down more than 30 related fraud sites by November 12. The August breach affected approximately 39,798 customers and exposed names, addresses, and purchase details, though private keys and recovery phrases remained secure. The company has notified affected users and implemented preventive measures including limiting data retention to 90 days.
