  "account": "Hardware wallet manufacturer Trezor has issued a warning to its customers, marking a second security incident within months. Trezor revealed that the marketing tech company Brevo, responsible for sending newsletters on behalf of Trezor, experienced a cyberattack that exposed the personal data of around 347,000 Trezor users to hackers. The attackers sent phishing emails, appearing to originate from Trezor, which contained a malicious link. This link, once clicked, downloaded an application that requested the victim's Trezor wallet backup password. On discovering the breach, Trezor noted that the hackers were able to access 138 Brevo accounts due to a flaw in the security system, resulting in a massive volume of phishing emails. Despite the breach, Trezor asserts that their products and account systems remain unaffected. This marks a second incident for Trezor, as they previously warned customers in August about a data breach involving their shipping partner, ShipMonk. The breach at ShipMonk exposed personal information of at least 81,000 Trezor customers, potentially putting them at risk of physical attacks related to \"wrench\" attacks. In the aftermath of the ShipMonk breach, some individuals received fraudulent mail from what appeared to be Trezor, containing a QR code leading to a fake page designed to steal wallet passwords. Trezor has since reevaluated its vendor relationships and cautioned customers that their email addresses might be targeted in further phishing attacks.",
