But now, you should also keep an eye out for phishing emails that truly come from legitimate sources. Mailchimp, an email marketing platform that mediates between you and other companies by sending you emails on their behalf, has recently been hacked. As first reported by, hackers used an internal Mailchimp tool to steal data from over 100 of the company's clients.
According to Mailchimp, the compromised clients were cryptocurrency services and financial institutions. Hackers gained access to Application Programming Interface keys, which enable Mailchimp clients to create and manage their own email campaigns. Hackers used the stolen data for phishing attacks, sending emails to the customers of these companies. Mailchimp stated that these API keys are now blocked.
