BitMex Emails leaked! BitMex Emails have been compromised – exposing their users emails by forgetting to use BCC on a mass email. BitMex has acknowledged the situation via an official statement today.
The recipient of the original email was a staff member – it has been independently verified by CoinTelegraph’s editorial team in Japan.
In a tweet posted on Nov 1st, Jake Chervinsky characterized BitMex’s accidental email exposure via a simple error as “outrageously incompetent”.
BitMEX just doxxed its users in the most outrageously incompetent way imaginable: forgetting to use blind copy on mass email. Someone must be cleaning out their desk already. https://t.co/KmARzImxnk
