Binance is the main cryptocurrency exchange. Hours ago the news came out saying that he had been the victim of a hack.

Binance denies there is a KYC data security breach

Although in a group on Telegram messages have been created in which personal data of users of the platform are displayed. Which leads many to question these statements.

Has there been a hack?

Binance has said that the data shown on Telegram is inconsistent. In addition, they comment that most of the photos do not have the site's own watermark, so they question the authenticity of this leaked data. Although it is something that has generated concern among users, they want to know if their data has been filtered or not.

The photos appear to be mostly dated February 2018. It is the time when they hired a third party company to handle KYC. This could be the source of this leak. Although it seems that the hacker contacted the company, asking for money, which he did not obtain. So he finally leaked this data.

Binance now offers 25 BTC as a reward for stopping hackers. There do not appear to have been any users really affected by this leak. Although the data that continues to arrive is somewhat contradictory in many cases. But from the platform they continue to ensure that there has been no such security breach. So we are left with that.
