Yuga Labs, an NFT company, recently issued a statement to its community that their account with email service provider Mailchimp had been breached. An „unauthorized actor“ had gained access to data in the Yuga Labs account, though there were no signs that any of the account’s data had been exported. The compromised account had information from email campaigns that involved a limited number of people.

The NFT company wanted to make sure that their community was aware of the breach as a precautionary measure, and stated that affected users would be contacted via a different email address. They also warned their community to always verify any announcements through official sources, and to be aware that there would be no surprise mints and that they would never DM users requesting sensitive information.

On Jan. 11, Mailchimp identified the security breach that affected 133 users‘ accounts. As a response, they informed all affected accounts on Jan. 12. In order to ensure the safety of user data moving forward, Mailchimp has taken additional measures to secure their servers and databases.

Yuga Labs has been working to ensure that their users‘ data is secure and that their NFT mints are safe from any potential malicious activity. They have warned their community to remain vigilant and to always verify any announcements through official sources. They have also encouraged users to report any suspicious activity or emails that appear to be from Yuga Labs. In addition, they have recommended users use strong passwords and two-factor authentication to protect their accounts.
