The post Binance Warns About ‘Serious Financial Damage’ from GitHub Data Leak appeared first on Coinpedia Fintech News
Binance has stated that passwords and code, visible on GitHub for months before being removed last week, could lead to “severe financial harm.” The exchange even claims the GitHub repository is “hosting and distributing leaks of internal code,” posing a significant risk to Binance.
Binance Action on Leak Data
A report from 404 Media on January 31 highlighted a cache of “highly sensitive” information, including internal passwords, code, infrastructure diagrams, and technical details related to password and multi-factor authentication implementation at Binance.
The report suggested that the leaked data was accessible for months which could have been advantageous to hackers attempting to compromise Binance’s systems.
Binance took swift action by filing a copyright takedown request with GitHub on January 24, successfully having the files removed.
