CZ Binance didn't reveal how the phishing scammers were able to get the phone numbers of binance users. Was binance breached? If so, how much data was exposed? I don’t believe an attack on Binance security was ever mentioned. I have to ask how safe is our bitcoins on centralized exchanges, how safe is our information (kyc) on these exchanges?
Once you do sent out your information to these platforms then never ever put up into your mind that those info would be 100% safe.Binance didn't mentioned out on how these numbers been leaked out?
There's no other way these scammers/hackers do able to get number of those users unless if they are leaked or been breached out so its safe to presume that this had been likely the case.
Well, if you do make use of your own common sense then these problems or possible phishing attempts could be spotted right on the spot.
Of course, that is so rational to think that the source of information can possibly be Binance itself so there is a possibility of it being hacked again...but then it is also possible that hackers use a software that can be sending SMS to random numbers who it thinks may have an account in Binance - yes this is also a big possibility in fact anything can be possible as far as hacking or frauds can be concerned. This is just one of the many risks that we are all facing everyday while in cryptocurrency so we have to be careful all the time never to ever click any link that can lead us to a fake site pretending to be the real one.
