According to an investigation conducted by Cybernews, the Iranian crypto exchange Bit24.cash misconfigured a high-performance object storage system instance, inadvertently granting access to cloud storage containers containing the platform’s Know Your Customer (KYC) data.

The researchers learned that approximately 230,000 Iranian citizens have fallen victim to a misconfiguration, which led to the exposure of their written consent to regulations, along with sensitive details such as passports, IDs, and credit cards. In a commentary to Cybernews, a spokesperson for Bit24.cash called the claims “inaccurate and misleading,” emphasizing that there is no evidence of a data breach or unauthorized access to sensitive user information. #BTC
