On October 26, 2026, Foundation, the maker of the Passport bitcoin hardware wallet, reported a phishing attack where fraudulent emails appeared to originate from its official domains. The attack was traced to compromised Cloudflare API keys, which allowed attackers to bypass authenticity checks. The emails urged recipients to relocate funds and included personal information such as mailing addresses and phone numbers, likely sourced from the company's customer support inbox or leaked databases. Foundation revoked all compromised API keys and took down the malicious domain linked in the emails. CEO Zach Herbert confirmed that customer funds and hardware remain secure, and a formal incident report is expected soon. The company has not disclosed how many customers received the phishing emails or if any acted on them. Users are advised to treat any suspicious communication with caution until further information is provided.
