The bitcoin transaction app Strike is currently investigating claims of a potential security breach, although no concrete evidence has been found yet. The investigation was sparked by discussions on ZachXBT’s Telegram channel, where users such as @bitcoin_eagle reported receiving suspicious scam emails linked exclusively to Strike.
The allegations surfaced in the wake of Strike’s significant expansion of operations in May. The app initially served markets in the United States, Argentina, and El Salvador, and has since expanded its reach. Founded in 2020 by Jack Mallers, Strike leverages the Lightning Network to provide instant bitcoin transactions to its user base.
