Nansen did not name the service provider, but it is known to be trusted by influential Fortune 500 companies. Nansen urged it to disclose its name. Although Nansen eliminated the problem, she revealed that about 6.8% of her platform's users were affected. Their email addresses, password hashes and blockchain addresses were exposed. Nansen contacted those affected and recommended taking action. The company also reassured users by stating that their funds are safe.

Nansen and the compromised service provider are now working with lawyers to investigate.
