🚨 Waltio Data Breach: Shiny Hunters Hacker Group Attacks Crypto Tax Service Provider
The French cryptocurrency tax calculation service platform Waltio has been ransomed. The hacker group Shiny Hunters claims to have gained access to the data of 50,000 users (one-third of the platform's total customers).
Incident summary:
On January 21, 2026, the attackers stole the 2024 tax reports. The information in the hackers' possession includes:
Email addresses; profit and loss data; year-end asset balances.
🛡 Information that is safe:
Company CEO Pierre Morizot quickly reassured users: the infrastructure has not been compromised. Passwords, exchange API keys, wallet addresses, and transaction histories have not been leaked. Waltio cannot directly access or move user funds, so your assets are safe.
