IRA Financial Trust, a platform that lets users save for retirement in alternative assets like cryptocurrency, is suing the Gemini cryptocurrency exchange<\/a> over an alleged failure to protect its customers from a heist that resulted in the theft of $36 million in crypto. The financial platform partners with Gemini, owned by the Winklevoss twins, Cameron and Tyler, to allow customers to trade and store cryptocurrency.<\/p>\n
In February, IRA was the victim of a major attack<\/a> that drained the millions in funds customers had stored with Gemini. The company was reportedly swatted<\/a>, the act of calling the police to report a fake crime at someone\u2019s location, when the cyberattack occurred. Police showed up at IRA\u2019s South Dakota headquarters after false reports of a robbery, while bad actors made off with millions in crypto. At the time, a source close to Gemini told CoinDesk<\/em> it wasn\u2019t hacked and that it makes various security controls available to its partners.<\/p>\n
\n\u201cBut like so much else in the world of crypto, Gemini\u2019s image is just that: an image\u201d<\/q><\/aside>\n<\/div>\n\u201cGemini knew about the risks attendant to crypto assets,\u201d IRA\u2019s complaint states. \u201cIn fact, it built its public image around purportedly mitigating those risks. But like so much else in the world of crypto, Gemini\u2019s image is just that: an image. In reality, Gemini brushes security aside when there is a chance to earn more revenue.\u201d<\/p>\n
According to IRA\u2019s complaint, problems started when Gemini \u201cstrongly<\/em> pressured\u201d the company to use the Gemini API (Application Programming Interface) over the web-based platform so its systems could better handle customer onboarding. This, IRA claims, had a \u201cfatal flaw\u201d in the form of the master key that allegedly let holders \u201cbypass\u201d Gemini\u2019s security protections, giving them the ability to \u201ctransfer and withdraw crypto assets without getting a client\u2019s second-factor authorization.\u201d Gemini provided IRA with this master key, but IRA claims it was never told about its \u201cpower,\u201d alleging Gemini nonchalantly included it in unsecured and unencrypted emails.<\/p>\n
IRA\u2019s complaint states that hackers got ahold of its master key and were allegedly able \u201cto exploit the vulnerabilities in Gemini\u2019s API.\u201d The result was bad actors \u201ctransferring tens of millions of dollars\u2019 worth of Bitcoin and Ether belonging to hundreds of customers into a single customer retirement account, and then withdrawing all such assets.\u201d<\/p>\n
IRA goes on to claim that, when the attack occurred, Gemini failed to freeze customers\u2019 accounts in a timely manner. Since IRA supposedly wasn\u2019t given a phone number it could use to contact Gemini quickly, it instead resorted to sending several emails that were met with a slow response time. (Gemini allegedly didn\u2019t freeze customers\u2019 accounts until almost two hours after IRA sent its first email.) IRA is suing Gemini for damages set to be determined at trial. <\/p>\n
\u201cWe reject the allegations in the lawsuit,\u201d Gemini spokesperson Natalie Rix said in a statement to The Verge<\/em>. \u201cThis attack targeted IRA Financial systems \u2014 not Gemini. No Gemini systems were compromised by the incident and we acted quickly to assist IRA Financial with their breach.\u201d<\/p>\nGemini is not only facing a lawsuit from IRA but also the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC), which has filed a lawsuit<\/a> against the company for allegedly misrepresenting certain details in its exchange and futures contract. Last week, Gemini announced that it\u2019s laying off 10 percent of its staff<\/a> as the cryptocurrency market deals with an economic downturn.<\/p>\n
Update June 8th, 8:47AM ET: <\/strong><\/em>Updated to include a statement from a Gemini spokesperson.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n
