We had a data incident. Here’s what you need to know.
Customer privacy and security are central to everything we do at Shakepay, and we aim to always be transparent. We’re writing this today to inform you of potential unauthorized access to a very small number of our customers’ personal information held at Shakepay, and what we are doing to help manage this.
We want to emphasize that only data was compromised. No bank accounts, crypto wallets, custodians, or customer credentials were affected.
What happened?
On December 13, 2023, we detected suspicious activity on an employee’s work device. Our security team launched an investigation as part of our incident response protocol and immediately locked, deauthenticated, and offboarded this device.
Our investigation revealed that, between March and December 13, 2023, a malicious actor was able to extract the personal information of a very small number of our customers.
We suspect that the following personal information may have been part of the breach: name, email, address, date of birth, phone number, occupation, trusted contact, account balances, and transaction activity.
Be aware of signs of fraudulent activity
We strongly encourage you to be aware of signs of fraudulent activity. Here is how you can protect yourself:
• Upgrade to a strong method of securing your Shakepay account, such as enabling two factor authentication with an authenticator app (TOTP).
• Be aware of suspicious emails, SMSs, and phone calls with links requesting you to change your password, to withdraw your funds, to confirm/reject a transaction you did not perform, or to login through suspicious links. Please consider these calls you may receive to be malicious, and do not respond.
• Only login through the Shakepay app or on https://t.co/e61hG0RG2T.
• Change the password on your Shakepay account by going in the app and clicking “Forgot my password” on the sign in page. Create a strong and unique password that you do not use on any other site. Ideally, use a password manager, like 1Password.
Our response
As soon as we became aware of this incident, we put in place additional security measures for affected customers.
We also set up a dedicated email address for our customers who have been affected. This address has been sent to potentially affected customers directly.
We want to help those affected make sure that they’re at minimal risk of identity theft during this time, so we will be providing free credit monitoring for two years to affected customers who are interested. This way, they'll receive credit report alerts so they can monitor them and act quickly if necessary.
In the meantime, Shakepay is contacting relevant local and regulatory authorities, and will be working closely with law enforcement to support its investigation into the individuals behind this incident. Our investigation is ongoing.
Moving forward
Your trust is the most important thing for us at Shakepay and we will do everything we can to maintain it. Please know that the security of your money and personal information is always our top priority, and we continue to carefully monitor the situation and use every recourse to protect your personal data and pursue bad actors.
If you need additional assistance, please reach out to our customer support team.

@blockchainorth sucks for canadian traders who make their bread from the vast liquidity on binance futs.. the brain & capital drain from the canadian crypto market is real
canada has dropped the ball so hard when it comes to crypto. arguably two of the most prominent figures in crypto (cz & vitalik) have strong ties to canada meanwhile regulation continues to push the industry offshore; imagine the possible tax revenues if we couldve been friends💔
Unfortunately, today we are announcing that Binance will be joining other prominent crypto businesses in proactively withdrawing from the Canadian marketplace.
We would like to thank those regulators who worked with us collaboratively to address the needs of Canadian users. Albeit a small market, it held sentimental value for us as the home country of our founder. We had high hopes for the rest of the Canadian blockchain industry. Unfortunately, new guidance related to stablecoins and investor limits provided to crypto exchanges makes the Canada market no longer tenable for Binance at this time. We put off this decision as long as we could to explore other reasonable avenues to protect our Canadian users, but it has become apparent that there are none.
Our remaining Canadian users are receiving an email with comprehensive information on how this will impact their accounts going forward. While we do not agree with the new guidance, we hope to continue to engage with Canadian regulators aimed at a thoughtful, comprehensive regulatory framework. We are confident that we will someday return to the market when Canadian users once again have the freedom to access a broader suite of digital assets.
cant believe market makers refer to me and my fellow degenerate discretionary traders as toxic flow just because we might have some information they dont
arent yall the toxic ones for always trying to be delta neutral and having zero guts to actually choose a side
