Security Breach

In June of 2024, an investigation by 404 Media reported on a security breach that was discovered when a security researcher identified exposed credentials belonging to an AU10TIX employee.^[11] The initial credential theft was reported to have occurred in December 2022, with stolen credentials posted on the messaging platform Telegram in March 2023.^[12] The compromised credentials included passwords and access tokens for various company accounts, including a logging platform containing verified user data. The breach impacted users of multiple major technology platforms that utilized AU10TIX's verification services, including: X (formerly Twitter), TikTok, LinkedIn, Coinbase, eToro, PayPal, Fiverr, Upwork, Bumble, and Uber.^[12][11]

AU10TIX initially downplayed the severity of the breach, stating that the compromised credentials had been promptly revoked. However, investigations by 404 Media contradicted this claim, revealing that the credentials remained functional despite the company's assertions.^[13] Following this disclosure, AU10TIX revised its position, acknowledging that data was "potentially accessible" while maintaining that there was no evidence of actual exploitation of the breach.^[13]
