ChangeNOW reports a support-system flaw; data may have been exposed
On 15 October ChangeNOW fixed a flaw in the link between its support system and its website. It says funds were not at risk, but others may have accessed the information, and it does not say which data. Expect phishing and extortion messages posing as ChangeNOW: official email comes only from partners@changenow.io, and even that can be spoofed.
Large instant exchange with hundreds of listed assets and no account requirement. An automated risk system can freeze a transaction and require identity verification before releasing funds.
