GitHub repository exposed Binance’s internal passwords and code

Binance’s source code has been openly accessible on a GitHub repository for months, with the exchange asserting that the leak posed only a ‘negligible risk.’Journalists at 404 Media discovered what they say is a “highly sensitive cache of code, infrastructure diagrams, internal passwords,” and other technical information related to Binance, openly available on a GitHub repository for several months.

According to the report, the repository included a folder labeled ‘binance-infra-2.0’ with a diagram illustrating the interconnections among various components of Binance’s dependencies. Additionally, it contained numerous scripts and code, some of which appeared related to Binance’s implementation of passwords and multifactor authentication, with comments in both English and Chinese, as noted by 404 Media.
