Binance says claimed 336M-user data leak is likely a scam

Binance said claims that data tied to around 335.9 million users had been leaked were likely part of a scam, The Defiant reported. A seller said to be linked to the hacking group ShinyHunters sought $900,000, claiming to hold data including emails, passwords, IDs and wallet private keys. After reviewing the post and sample data, Binance said it found no evidence that its systems or customer information had been compromised. Security firms also said the authenticity of the data had not been verified and assessed that the listing may have reused previously leaked material or been a fraudulent sales post.
