Coinmarketcap hack leaked 3.1 million emails!

[o_e_l_e_o]

The above fact pattern does not say with certainty that the images came from binance/one of their vendors. It also opens the possibility the "hacker" obtained the images via means unrelated to binance.

All the selfies (which you can find examples of online if you want to go looking for them) were of users holding up pieces of paper with "Binance" written on them alongside their ID. There is no reason that any company other than Binance or their third party partners would have thousands of such pictures. And regardless, Binance admitted the data came from a third party that they sent users' KYC data to, they contacted all the users in questions to tell them about the hack, and they gave them all free lifetime VIP memberships. So yes, it was Binance's fault despite their initial statement that nothing had been "obtained from Binance".

This statement in this case about nothing being leaked from "their own servers" is exactly the same. Binance are neither honest nor trustworthy when it comes to security of data.

because of the hack that happened on October 12 that leaked 3,117,548 email addresses!

Damn! A bit late but it is better late than never.

Thanks for the warning dkbit98. Unlike what happens with most crypto- services and products, there is a big consensus among us to use CMC occasionally and, since they are now part of Binance, even a little percentage of that users logging in there supposes a huge exposure. I can't remember now whether I signed in there ever, but I will have to check it up because I don't want to be one of the 3 million addresses without knowing it.
