In November 2024, a listing appeared on the dark web offering verified accounts from numerous cryptocurrency exchange platforms for sale. These accounts included those from Binance, Bybit, Kraken, Nexo, Poloniex, KuCoin, Crypto.com, Coinbase, OKCoin, OKX, Gate.io, BingX, CoinJar, HTX (Huobi), and CEX.IO.
The listings offered options for custom names, bulk discounts, and secure escrow transactions, with sellers promising immediate access upon payment for pre-made accounts. Customization options were also available for individual arrangements. The specific types of data within these accounts were not detailed, nor was the number of affected individuals or the precise methods used to obtain the accounts.
Details can emerge later, and notices may be delayed as cybersecurity assessments continue.
