[Binance denies rumors of data leak of 12.8 million users] Golden Finance reported that recently, someone on the dark web forum claimed to have leaked the personal data of 12.8 million Binance users, including sensitive information such as name, email, phone number, birthday and address. However, Binance said the news was false information. The poster, named "FireBear", said that the data was leaked in August and attempted to sell some or all of the information. A Binance spokesperson confirmed to Decrypt that the security team has investigated the matter and determined that no data leak has occurred. Despite this, cybersecurity experts warn that such false news may trigger phishing attacks and account theft, and recommend that users enable two-factor authentication and be wary of suspicious communications.
