Binance said a preliminary review found no evidence that its systems or customer information had been compromised, after reports alleged a leak involving 335.9 million users. The authenticity of published data samples has not been independently confirmed, and Binance said its investigation was continuing.
The alleged sellers demanded $900,000 in bitcoin or Monero to keep the information private. Binance said inconsistencies in the listing suggested the data may have come from malware on individual users’ devices, or that the offer may have been a scam.
