- Most users who are targeted are based on the United States, the United Kingdom and Singapore.
- AI -centered fraud is increasing the risk of identity theft.
- Binance adds SMS verification to strengthen phishing defense.
The new wave of encryption data leakage damage the sensitive user details of major platforms, including the ledger, Gemini and Robinhood.
According to a recent survey shared by the Dark Web Informer account of X (previous Twitter), the supplier actively sells the leaked information from the Dark Web and reveals the full name, e -mail address, house address, phone number and postal code.
This development is a confusing escalation of cyber security threats related to encryption, and is affected by most of the influenced individuals in the United States and a few users of Singapore and the UK.
There is no statement issued
On April 13, Dark Web Informer posted a screenshot showing the degree of damaged records. The seller claims that it has comprehensive data related to user base of the largest retail encryption platform.
Despite the seriousness of the charges, the official statement has not been disclosed by the director, Robinhood or Gemini.
This is not the first time these companies have been connected to data leaks. In 2021, Robinhood confirmed that the attacker could socially engineered the customer service staff and access more than 5 million email addresses and 2 million full names.
The internal system vulnerability is not confirmed, but the recent leak seems to follow similar patterns.
Fishing is likely to be blamed as AI fraud evolves.
Cyber security experts connected to the Dark Web Informer account suggest that phishing, not internal hacking, is the most likely cause of data exposure.
Instead of violating the platform, the attacker appears to be targeting users directly through fake websites, emails and text messages that mimic official channels.
This tactic especially allows frauders to impersonate exchanges or executives because of the integration of convincing messages or AI tools that produce deep sea.
Earlier this month, a separate violation influenced more than 100,000 encryption users and influenced similar personal data and mainly on the US -based individual.
This suggests that the trend of attacks that depend on abuse human errors rather than system vulnerability increases.
AI morale increases
The increase in phishing activities was inconspicuous by the user. Many have reported fraud messages from Binance’s official sender ID in recent weeks.
This message often pretends to be used to check accounts and second -level authentication.
Accordingly, Binance’s chief security officer said the exchange has strengthened the anti -phishing code program.
The update now includes SMS verification measures to reduce the effects of spoofed messages, depending on a series of user complaints.
However, when the amount and sophistication of phishing attacks increases, it emphasizes the wider risk faced by encryption users.
Since AI drive fraud and phishing kits are widely distributed, the platform needs to improve user education and real -time threat detection.
The platform maintains silence
The affected platform maintains silence on data leaks, but the recurrence of such an event is raising alarms throughout the encryption community.
It is not clear whether the data leaks come from new vulnerabilities or recycling information of new vulnerabilities or spherical attacks without direct confirmation of the ledger, gemini or robinhood.
If this leak continues, it emphasizes urgent need for better user protection and transparency from the service provider. The steak has risen considerably as the exchanges have expanded around the world and millions of users.
Without clear communication, the user must take additional preventive measures such as activating the second stage authentication, confirming the official source, and avoiding the links of unknown callers.
