A threat actor is allegedly selling user data linked to cryptocurrency exchanges Gemini and Binance, according to cybersecurity resource DarkWebInformer.
The data allegedly included names, passwords and location details, with hundreds of thousands of records listed online.
Binance Analyzed Stolen Data and Declared It Was Unrelated to Its Records
“Our security team has thoroughly analyzed the data shared by the person claiming responsibility for the leak and confirmed that it is not related to our platform or user records,” Binance’s customer support team said.
DarkWebInformer identified the threat source as “AKM69,” which listed a large dataset of US-based cryptocurrency leads allegedly tied to Gemini. The database up for sale allegedly contained 100,000 records, including full names, emails, phone numbers, and location data from individuals primarily in the US, along with some data from Singapore and the UK.
Gemini has not yet made a statement on the matter.
