TREE NEWS update: A phishing campaign targeting Passport users has been linked to compromised Cloudflare API keys, the Foundation said. Recipients reported that the messages exposed personal and purchase details, while the company maintained that Passport hardware and funds were safe. The incident follows reports of users receiving fraudulent emails that appeared to come from the Foundation.
Foundation Ties Passport Phishing Emails to Compromised Cloudflare API Keys
The detail that matters here is the vector: compromised Cloudflare API keys, not a breach of Passport hardware, which shifts the exposure from device security to the third-party infrastructure that sends official-looking mail. Because the phishing messages carried real personal and purchase details, the credibility problem outlasts the technical fix — recipients now have reason to distrust genuine Foundation communications. The open question is whether the Foundation discloses how the keys were compromised and whether the same infrastructure gap affects other wallet vendors relying on similar providers.
