  "textContent": "Fincrime Central – 6 Feb 26\n\n### The Sumsub Incident and the Future of Cloud Compliance - Fincrime Central\n\nThe Sumsub security incident demonstrates the inherent data breach risk when using third party cloud providers for identity verification and transaction monitoring services.\n\n**TL;DR:**\n\n> _**Sumsub identified a security incident in early 2026 involving unauthorized activity that originated from an external threat actor who submitted a malicious attachment through a third-party support ticketing platform in July 2024. […] While the company confirmed that identity document images and bank details remained secure, the exposed data included names, email addresses, and phone numbers for a specific subset of accounts.**_\n\n> _The discovery of this intrusion occurred retrospectively during a routine security review, leading to immediate incident response and direct notification to all affected customers through their support manager_ **- FIN CRIME CENTRAL**\n\nSumsub is “trusted third party” that verifies the identity of millions of internet users via banks, fintech, crypto, gambling…\n\nUnfortunately, I can’t find any mainstream English news sources reporting on this issue. The only recognizable English source reporting on it is Sumsub’s own blog post, which, of course, is biased.\n\nSumsub\n\n### Security Incident Update | Sumsub\n\nSecurity Incident Update",
