Cointelegraph obtained data set samples packed with sensitive information of crypto conference attendees that could be a treasure trove for scammers.
Lists packed with sensitive information on crypto industry event attendees are being sold under the guise of “marketing and promoting and finding clients,” presenting a potential data gold mine for scammers and malicious actors.
The lists may contain information including full names, phone numbers, nationalities, job roles and companies, along with personal and business social media links.
Some even include the attendees’ ticket purchase date, ticket type, the operating system used for making the purchase, social media follower counts, crypto wallet addresses and messages typed into a text field sent to event organizers.
