BleepingComputer reports that a threat actor using the ShinyHunters handle, believed to be impersonating the extortion gang, is selling what they claim are records of 335 million Binance users on a new underground forum and asking $900,000 [1]. The claimed data includes KYC documents, internal infrastructure information, account passwords, wallet private keys, transaction history, emails and phone numbers, but a Binance spokesperson said the company found no evidence of a breach and that this is likely a scam [1]. Binance advises customers never to share passwords, 2FA codes, seed phrases or private keys and to stay wary of phishing [1].
