Hackers Steal Customer Data From Crypto Card Firm Gnosis Pay

Gnosis Pay says hackers accessed some customer data, but no money was lost. Users warned to watch out for scams and protect their personal details.

A company that makes crypto payment cards has been hacked — but your money is safe. Gnosis Pay, a firm that lets people spend their cryptocurrency using a debit-style card, announced on Friday that hackers broke into one of its systems and stole some customer information.

What happened? Gnosis Pay's security tools spotted the break-in (called a *data breach* — when outsiders gain unauthorized access to private information) on November 3. The company says it:

Started fixing the problem within two hours
Replaced the stolen security passwords and closed the weak spot hackers used
Confirmed that customer funds (money) were NOT taken

The breach only affected Gnosis Pay's *consumer* business — the service for everyday individual users. This service was already scheduled to shut down on December 20. The company's *enterprise* side (the part that provides card technology to other businesses like banks and apps) was not touched.

What Gnosis Pay didn't reveal The company didn't say how many people were affected or exactly what data was stolen. Instead, it emailed each affected customer directly with the details.

New safety steps To protect users until the service closes, Gnosis Pay made 3D Secure mandatory — this is an extra verification step (like entering a one-time code) when paying online.

The company warned customers to:

Ignore suspicious messages about their cards, even ones that look real
Never share their *seed phrases* (secret recovery words for a crypto wallet), PINs, or full card numbers
Be careful about sharing their home address or how much crypto they own

That last warning matters because of rising "wrench attacks" — real-world robberies, break-ins, and kidnappings targeting crypto owners. Over $30 million was stolen this way in just the first half of 2026.

The bigger picture This is just the latest in a wave of crypto security problems. Recently, a massive $6.4 billion hack hit Binance (the world's largest crypto exchange), and Coinbase reported a data leak through an outside vendor.

Bottom line: No money was lost at Gnosis Pay, but stolen personal data can still be dangerous. If you use any crypto service, stay alert for scams.
