Do not understand which statement is true.

I do not see any inconsistencies in these statements since many companies offer several levels of encryption to their databases, and therefore there may be a hack, but without any harm to user’s deposits. "Sometimes data is more expensive than money."

The article did not provide further details about the nature of the leaked data or the number of accounts involved. Therefore, it is best for all Kraken/Etana users to check whether their docs are part of this leak or not.
