“This is false. Our security team has investigated the allegations and we can confirm that this is not a data breach from Binance,” the spokesperson for the exchange stated.

The cybercriminal group behind the alleged breach, known as “Greavys,” is said to be selling the personal data on the dark web, either in blocks or in full, to buyers via Telegram. “Greavys,” along with cybercriminals such as “Wiz” and “Box,” have a history of phishing attacks.

In August 2024, the hackers ran a $$ 243 million phishing operation in Washington DC, posing as Google and Gemini support employees to gain access to a victim’s Bitcoin wallet via remote control software such as AnyDesk.

While the attack was fake, the potential leak of sensitive data highlights the critical need for robust security practices. As the situation develops, the crypto community will be closely monitoring updates.

While the leak did not occur, it is important to continue to follow security protocols and take preventative measures, such as two-factor authentication, to mitigate risks.
