Security record
· Customer data exposed
Employee phished; some users' personal data exposed (reported 2025)
Bloomberg reported in September 2025 that hackers got into a Crypto.com employee's account in 2023 and exposed users' personal data. Crypto.com says a phishing attack exposed limited data on "a very small number of individuals", that it reported the incident to regulators, and it rejects the suggestion it was hidden.
Outcome: Crypto.com says no customer funds were accessed.

About US$34 million taken from 483 customer accounts
Unauthorised withdrawals took about 4,836 ETH and 444 BTC from 483 customer accounts. Crypto.com halted all withdrawals overnight while it investigated.
Outcome: Crypto.com said it reimbursed every affected customer.
· Operational mistake
A$10.5 million sent to a customer by mistake
A Crypto.com staff member sent a Melbourne customer A$10.5 million instead of a A$100 refund. Crypto.com found the mistake in December 2021 and sued in the Supreme Court of Victoria.
Outcome: Crypto.com won default judgment in 2022, including the sale of a house bought with the money and put in the recipient's sister's name.
