The “email fraud incident" did not impact customer funds and accounts, and Circle’s “information systems” remained secure, Circle said. It said the unnamed fraudsters stole $2 million in “company-owned funds” in June 2021.
Circle made the disclosure as part of its preparation to go public through a merger with a special purpose acquisition company. The $4.5 billion payments company is positioning itself to be Wall Street’s highest-profile stablecoin specialty firm.
Circle did not elaborate on the incident in its SEC filings. A spokesperson declined to comment.
