Sphere 3D Corp. (NASDAQ: ANY) has issued a response to a misleading press release from Gryphon Digital Mining Inc. The response clarifies that Sphere 3D is not seeking to impose liability for the impersonation of its CFO, as Gryphon has already effectively compensated Sphere for the incident. In early 2023, Gryphon's CEO fell victim to spoofing attacks, resulting in the loss of approximately $560,000 of Sphere's assets. Gryphon subsequently reimbursed Sphere but initially reserved its rights.
Sphere 3D continues to pursue claims against Gryphon, estimating damages in excess of $25 million. The company maintains that the spoofing attack could have been prevented with industry-standard protocols and remains a subject of ongoing litigation. Sphere 3D is represented by Dontzin, Nagy & Fleissig LLP in this matter.
