Scott Kisser (CISO, Swan Bitcoin)When attackers breached HubSpot in March 2022, they weren’t after HubSpot at all.They were after the customers of its customers.Crypto firms like Trezor, BlockFi, and Swan Bitcoin suddenly saw their users targeted by near-perfect phishing emails designed to steal recovery seeds and drain wallets.
