Regulatory Eyes Watching Closely

Financial authorities monitor the situation as the narrative unfolds. Another day, another 'nothing to see here' from a crypto exchange—because what could possibly go wrong when you're safeguarding billions in digital monopoly money?

Scattered Spider Breach at Crypto.com Sparks Criticism

On September 19, 2025, Bloomberg reported that Noah Urban, a member of the hacking group Scattered Spider, admitted that his group used phishing to get into a Crypto.com employee’s account sometime before early 2023, which let them see the personal information of some users. 

The report also mentioned that some crypto experts criticized Crypto.com, saying the company should have been more open with the public about it. This criticism came as people were already worried about user data leaks, especially after the major exchange Coinbase had its customer information stolen earlier this year. Roelof Botha, a top executive at Sequoia Capital, was also among the victims. 

However, Marszalek highlighted that the exchange has strong systems that keep getting better, and they take great pride in putting security first. This is supported by having more industry certifications than anyone else.
