Mixpanel Provider Hack Affects Stake Users: Funds Are Safe, But Personal Data Leaked

The team of the popular platform Stake has sent out an official notification about a recent security incident. The problem did not arise on the side of the casino itself, but with their third-party partner, the analytical service Mixpanel, which was hacked last weekend.

What really happened?

According to the statement, the attackers gained unauthorised access to Mixpanel's systems using SMS phishing (smishing). As a result of the attack, the hackers managed to download files containing Stake user profiles. The incident was promptly localized, and Mixpanel is now cooperating with law enforcement to investigate.

What data got into the network?

Although passwords and financial information remained intact, the leak affected personal data. In the hands of third parties were:

• Usernames (usernames);
• Email addresses;
• Dates of birth;
• Phone numbers.

The security of Stake's funds and accounts is particularly emphasised: the infrastructure of the platform itself was not affected. Mixpanel did not have access to wallets, passwords, or a funds management system. Your money and access remain completely safe.

What should you be afraid of?

Since the contact database has been leaked, users should expect a sharp surge in spam and phishing attempts. Scammers can use the received emails and phone numbers to pretend to support Stake and try to fish out passwords.

Recommendations for protection:

1. Enable 2FA: If you don't already have two-factor authentication set up, do so immediately.
2. Use Passkeys: This is a more reliable login method that the platform recommends.
3. Ignore suspicious requests: Remember, genuine Stake support never asks for your password or 2FA code.
4. Update your software: Keep your devices and operating systems up to date.
5. And best of all: play in reliable establishments, where such problems are practically excluded.

Be vigilant and do not click on suspicious links from emails or SMS.
