Another BINANCE HACK?.....

[MOProgress]

A news flash today online says a telegram channel was uploading KYC information claimed to be from Binance exchange.

Particularly this news: https://www.cryptoinformers.info/news/10284-dedicated-telegram-channel-uploading-kyc-documents-which-it-claims-are-binance-user

But the CEO of Binance denied that it is not from its exchange.

according to the report, the only thing I see there that may seem is not Binance users KYC information that is been circulated is that the documents "do not have Binance digital water mark".

But what if it is true, how will it be for users?

Check CZ twitter. Right now is nothing more than FUD

[dedocry]

Binance is large financial platform
+- altcoins are anonymous, of course some people  will try to hack it

[globalking]

I don't think so Binance is a very big exchange it will take all the precautions they can afford to lose their image a lot of people trust them.

Hack on their data for sure because lot of threads regarding this info so this might be a true fact but need to wait for their acceptance about this leak.If this could be hack on their funds then we might lost the best crypto exchange on the falling side.

Never go with the crowd. Most of the times what we see is not the actual truth. People portray false information in the name of truth and the others believe it and spread the FUD.
I guess that is what has happened here now. Though there might be people uploading KYC information on telegram channel but it isn't necessary that Binance was involved in it.
It might be an attempt to break the current growth in bitcoin's price. So it isn't wise to spread such FUDs by making threads like these.

If its not proven its from binance why write an article about it? I didn't even click.

There wouldn't have any problem when its hacked, they do have the money to give to all those who lose money there. Just like the previous hacked that had happened, its as if nothing happened. So don't worry about them getting hacked.

The "best" exchange is maybe not the best in term of security... It can have big holes. This is the risk of sending something on the internet. Nothing is safe. Only people who recognize themselves into thoses leaked pictures can really say if it was for their KYC at Binance or not.

All I know is that, we cannot be too certain of whether it is true or not, what I saw on the article was a news of a telegram channel uploading photos it claimed to have obtained from Binance exchange.

Based on this article: https://www.binance.com/en/blog/365766157488967680/Statement-on-False-KYC-Leak

They dont want to accept this FUD news but they said that they will offer a reward to people who can help them identify and pursue the suspect.
Very interestinggg....

You should be more careful and check any news yourself before creating a topic. This is another wave of FUD, and nothing more.

[fortunecrypto]

They already stated that it's not coming from them because of the absence, of their digital mark, but this is a big warning for airdrops and bounty participants or even ICO investors to be careful where and to who they are submitting their documents.

People are so easy to get sway by these FUDS, some groups out there hates Binance so they are doing this.

[DeepChipolino]

Crypto is filled with similar "news." This may mean that many people believe in such FUDs. This is not a good fact, since such "news" can control the market.

[coin-investor]

I've checked the telegram channel and it's not existing anymore, and Binance already posted in their official account that this is not true, and it can be verified because of the absence of Binance's digital mark, this is just to discredit Binance, because they are the number one exchange right now, a hack could only mean big negative feedback for Binance.

Now we know that KYC we've submitted to lower exchanges, scam ICO and airdrops can fall to the wrong hands and when it does you are not safe anymore because you do not know where it would end up, someone or somebody might be using your information for illegal activities.

It is definitely not. Binance's database is huge and if it is hacked, all information has been made public.
those KYC sets were only recorded on the 24th and I think this is FUD for a long time.
Don't worry too much about Binance, I think this is just a small incident.

Was that a hack on the exchange coins or hack on traders' kyc information?
I guess the the CEO of binance should confirm if this indeed happens before we rush to conclusions. Or binance users who find their data from the hack could confirm it too. .

Seems like only information of the of the traders leaked and CEO already denied that this is just a FUD.

But didn't see any price fall on their trading exchange so this might be a rumour.

[Rohtox]

No, this is not a binance hack, but there are other parties who claim to be part of binance.
and of course, KYC SHOULD NOT BE THROUGH telegram or other social media, even with Google form

[xiboothrezi]

Don't be easily influenced by Fud. Stop sharing telegram groups that contain these kyc images, just as you pay attention to hackers. Binance has also given an official statement on this matter. Statement-on-False-KYC-Leak

On initial review of the images made public, they all appear to be dated from February of 2018, at which time Binance had contracted a third-party vendor for KYC verification in order to handle the high volume of requests at that time. Currently, we are investigating with the third-party vendor for more information. We are continuing to investigate and will keep you informed.

This issue is not the first time. Stay positive and don't be easily influenced, read news from trusted sources.

Binance antagonists are looking for way to bring down the reputation of Binance. They have tried many time s and yet they failed.
Well, even if that seems not to be the case, perhaps it is the handiwork of scammers, I believe they never got those info from Binance, but might be looking for ways to extort the exchange.

[peculiarmess]

I think Binance ceo has debunked this and it is not a hack. What we do not know is if it was a cover up by Binance. However, it is still a fud. I can't begin to imagine how the market will crash if Binance ever gets hacked truly.
