[Binance Denies Rumors of 336 Million User Data Breach] Binance stated that a message claiming to sell 335.9 million user data records is likely a scam. No evidence has been found of compromised systems, customer authentication data, account credentials, or wallet private keys. The investigation is ongoing. Security monitoring company ThreatMon reported that a forum seller demanded $900,000 and threatened to release the data if Binance did not pay. The seller claimed the data included users from approximately 170 countries, including identity information, passwords, and private keys, but these claims and samples have not been verified. Binance pointed out that the platform does not store passwords in plaintext, does not hold users' external wallet private keys, and the message mentioned regions where it no longer operates. This data breach rumor is different from the wallet attack on October 29th. (Source: The Defiant)
