No evidence of system breach found; Binance says ShinyHunters' alleged theft of 335 million user records is likely a scam

Odaily: The hacker group ShinyHunters claims to have stolen 335 million Binance user records, including KYC documents, passwords, transaction records, and wallet information, and is demanding $900,000. Binance customer service responded that it is investigating the matter; based on the samples reviewed, the incident is more likely a scam, and no compromise of systems, KYC data, account credentials, or private keys has been found. Binance stated that it does not store passwords in plaintext, nor does it hold the private keys of users' external wallets, and that this batch of data involves jurisdictions from which Binance has already exited. Binance also said that similar data in the past mostly came from information-stealing malware on users' devices.
