April 15 (Cointime) - Approximately 7,000 users of MetaMask have had their email addresses exposed through a recent data leak, according to an announcement from its parent company ConsenSys. 

The incident was limited to users who submitted personal data to MetaMask customer support using the third-party customer support ticketing services. 

"Approximately 7,000 users of customer support had their tickets accessed during the time period of the incident, which is a small percentage of the users who used customer support during that time." ConsenSys said.

The affected support forms only explicitly requested user email addresses, meaning that this only the only data that necessarily leaked. However, ConsenSys also noted that users may have entered other personal information in other form fields.

ConsenSys affirms that the security of the MetaMask browser extension and mobile app was not affected by this incident.
