Binance claims that the code leak on GitHub is old

Binance has denied a report that a sensitive cache of passwords on GitHub was exposed.

Binance claimed that the information posted on GitHub posed a "minor risk" to users, but a previous takedown request on GitHub indicated that the information posed a "significant risk" to the exchange.

Crypto exchange Binance has denied a report that a "highly sensitive" cache of passwords and internal code has been exposed on GitHub for months - arguing that the code is outdated and poses "minimal risk".

According to a Jan. 31 404 Media report, there was a cache of "code, infrastructure diagrams, internal passwords, and other technical information," including information about how the exchange handles passwords and multi-factor authentication.

The report notes that Binance successfully asked GitHub to remove the files via a copyright takedown request on January 24, where the exchange said the information "poses significant risk" and was posted "without permission."

However, a Binance spokesperson told Cointelegraph that the person "shared very old information on GitHub" and that their security team confirmed that the cache "doesn't look like anything we're currently producing." .

Binance added that the information "poses an insignificant risk to the security of our users, their assets, or our platform." The organization claimed that the information was too old "to be used by any third party or malicious actor."
