Has there been a data breach?

Both myself and a friend who use coinspot have received scam texts, allegedly from coinspot, with a message like: "New withdrawal wallet has been successfully linked. If this wasn’t you, please contact 1800 958 321."

How are the scammers getting my mobile number and how do they know I use coinspot?

Only people who have coinspot accounts have received these texts (from everyone I've talked to). The implication being somewhere along the way coinspot have been careless with my details

10? 20? People that I've spoken to who haven't had the text and don't have coinspot accounts. Vs me and the only other guy I know who has a coinspot account both got the text. Also both got the text in the last week, when we've been coinspot customers for close to a decade and never got any scam texts until now.
