Swiss Crypto Firm Pocket Bitcoin Exposed by Data Breach

Pocket Bitcoin, a Swiss non-custodial service for buying and selling Bitcoin, suffered a data breach in mid-August 2026. An unauthorized party accessed its support system, exposing personal information of 5,411 customers.

The compromised data included names, addresses, and transaction lists, potentially linking identities to specific Bitcoin transactions.

No customer funds or full transaction histories were affected, but the incident raises concerns about privacy for those whose identities could be linked to their cryptocurrency activity.
