Some people would think that someone is sponsoring and paying this hackers to specifically target crypto exchanges.
I think that Gemini exchange is mostly oriented towards US and North America customers and they won't be happy about this leak, maybe we could expect new wave of lawsuits if they get tricked with some phishing scam, or if they start receiving calls and sms messages.

God saved that funds were not hacked and that users were not affected financially in any way. However, receiving a Phishing mail campaign will be inconvenient for us. Few people would fall for the scammers' trap. I frequently receive this type of email but simply mark it as spam. However, funds were not stolen; if an accident occurred on the market again, we would have to suffer again. There is already a lot of drama in the crypto markets.

That's certainly possible, though I've never read or heard about owners of cryptocurrency having their houses broken into because of it.  It's a big risk for a number of reasons if you're a thief, much bigger than trying to just break into a house to steal cash and physical valuables. 

At least on the bright side no coins were hacked (though I'd hate to have my personal data stolen, too).  Gemini obviously needs to beef up its customers' data security, but I'm guessing the hackers tried to get access to crypto as well and weren't able to because of Gemini's safekeeping methods.  Yay?

I'm sure this isn't the last time we'll be reading about one of these data hacks.  Even enormous corporations like Sony and Target have been successfully hacked.

I don't want to call it good but it's still good that important information is not included those Gemini account holders should be ready to receive scam and spam emails this is why with so much hacking going on I prefer to hide my main email and only use emails specifically for exchanges, trading and other subscriptions and am I very quick to hit the spam button even if the title of the email is very tempting to open.

It seems that need to stay as far away from centralized exchanges as possible. They will steal not only your money, but also personal data. What will be stolen next?

If exchanges can't ensure the safety of data (not to mention deposits) of their users, then what right do they have to demand KYCs and other nonsense?

Of course, there is no question of compensation for users. But someone will definitely succumb to phishing tricks and suffer. Now it will be the problem of the users themselves, and not the exchange, although it is known who is to blame.

Minor point, but it was not Gemini itself but a 3rd party vendor.

Makes you wonder if this is from Gemini Earn Genesis Global Capital and with everything going on with the lawsuit and digging through data records something was either found then or during the process something was left unsecured.

Sadly, this happens too often and it either takes months and months to find out who had the actual breach. In the end it does not matter since the data was entrusted to Gemini.
BUT, the other side is that if the 3rd party had Gemini's user data, who else did they deal with and was that data compromised.

I'm going with their lawyers liability people told them to.
With things that involve money I can see someone wanting to at least appear to be keeping tabs on people who sign up.
It's all BS, but it makes it look good. I can get a domain for under $5.00 year and have email forwarding to someplace else in 10 minutes, so it's all really moot.

EDIT:
Wonder if this is related or not: https://www.cointracker.io/blog/sendgrid-data-breach

Sendgrid has been and looks like it will continue to be a shitshow being hacked compromised multiple times.
