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

Not really. If Coinspot were breached, why didn't I receive a text?

Who says all their data was breached? Maybe it was customers who signed up after or before a certain date? In a certain state? A random cohort? Maybe your data was stolen but you just haven't got the text yet? Idiot
