Bitcoin lending startup Loanbase, Inc. is claiming to have been hacked, although fortunately for customers and the company alike the amount stolen was not huge.
Loanbase advised customers of the hack via email and its Facebook page on Sunday, explaining they had first detected unauthorized access early in the morning of Saturday, February 6.
The company says the hack came via a hole in a WordPress blog, and gave the hackers access to their SQL database, meaning that sensitive user information may have been accessed including e-mail addresses, phone numbers, names, and other sensitive information.
