Claims 335.9 million records leaked, Binance raises 'possibility of fraud'

Binance has cast doubt on claims that 335.9 million rows of user data were leaked, citing inconsistencies in the types and volumes of data listed in the sale postings. The sellers, who surfaced in listings posted between October 30 and November 2, are asking $900,000 for identity documents, passwords, and wallet private keys. Security firm Brandefense examined four postings, two of them dated November 2, that advertise the Binance data. Binance's skepticism, reported by The Defiant, hinges on mismatches in the claimed data, though the existence of the listings and their figures do not by themselves prove a real breach. What to watch next is whether Binance or the sellers produce verifiable samples that confirm or refute the leak.
