Binance Finds No Evidence of Breach in Claim Involving 335 Million Users’ Data: Did It Come from Devices?

Binance said it has found no evidence that its systems were breached in the claim that data belonging to 335 million users was stolen, and that its investigation is ongoing.

ShinyHunters allegedly obtained data belonging to 335 million users and demanded $900,000 in exchange. In a statement reported by Wu Blockchain, Binance Help Desk said it was investigating the claims.

Binance said it has so far found no evidence that its systems, KYC data, account information, or wallet private keys had been compromised.

Binance Says the Data May Have Come from User Devices

The exchange said some parts of the data list do not match how it stores user data and said the dataset may contain information obtained using software that steals data from users’ devices.
