In that case, just refrain from using centralized exchanges. There are already a lot of options when it comes down to decentralized exchanges and most of them ensure 100% transparency.

and even though this hack is labeled as FUD, it just goes to show how vulnerable these exchanges are.

Exchanges were, from the beginning of their existence, picky targets for top tier exploiters. With not much being budgeted towards security (and even though budgeted, not coming through with it) and raking in more profit in terms of fees, a big number of top tier exchanges have being under scrutiny for their flaws.

I can't wait for the day, when the majority of our trading is perfomed on DE-centralized exchanges. We need centralized exchanges still, to move FIAT in and out, but when people can't trade without risking their personal details getting leaked left and right. Their funds getting frozen, or worse HACKED, and the government sending out TAX letters with ALL the info gathered from Coinbase and other exchanges.
Bitcoin was meant to be an ESCAPE from our current financial sector and banks, yet here we are 10 years later with the same problems we have with FIAT.
Bitcoin is getting slower and slower due to widespread adoption, and it's fees are crazy high. We need offchain transactions to eliminate those high fees, AND long transaction times.
The current DEX solutions using atomic swaps is too slow (Komodo is a great example of that). We need a lightning DEX - And thankfully there is one being built right now by the X9 devs behind Stakenet (XSN).
I still use centralized exchanges, but only to deposit FIAT into, my crypto is NEVER converted back to FIAT, instead I'll spend my crypto on goods and services.
What do you guys think?
Dont just easily believe when its not being verified yet. All of that so called hacked was just a hoax or recycled news. it was an old event from the third party KYC service according to Binance, so there's nothing new about it!Or its just a simple FUD in one ultimate purpose to discredit Binance thats my opinion. I HATE KYC. I hate centralized exchanges, and even though this hack is labeled as FUD, it just goes to show how vulnerable these exchanges are.

I saw a chat about the KYC hack, this is very troublesome, this is why I hate KYC oriented exchanges. Been using decentralized exchange for a long while now. Just recently IDEX has joined the frail of KYC.
There are many fuds in the crypto space. Probably this time Binance hack is also a fud. Binance has not confirmed anything about the matter so far. And it is too early to draw the conclusion about the matter.
This is old news and is not much of a concern because most of them are old KYC documents and are not very valuable in the crypto market. I think Binance is protecting their customers very well and the implementation of KYC at this exchange is getting harder and harder as they require all users to verify by video. I personally do not care much about this information but will definitely affect the reputation of Binance during this time 
Hackers also doing their best to steal all the crypto related information from most of the exchanges binance doing good but there first security breach and document related think but still nothing confirmed officially.
It's true that we really need decentralized exchange but this news is not confirmed yet so you should refrain from spreading this type of information
I cant find any news about binance KYC leaked on the internet and how true is this claimed of yours? I think this is wrong accusation,Anyways
Whatever happens to binance i will always use the exchange because i trust the exchange more than the others and i dont use KYC on binance because its not a must to pass KYC to trade or withdraw from the exchange

What kind of document got leaked? If it is photo/name/surname then its is not leaked. You can get same kind of document just from facebook 
each profile has picture and lots of info about the person.

is there any confirmation from Binance about this ?. I don't think binance is easy to hack. if indeed the binance was hacked, then why only KYC data was stolen? why hackers don't take their assets.
Nobody can`t confirm FUD, and this is apparently FUD. As I see BNB is up for 7% and the price is again over $30, why would we see a price rise if there was some problem with Binance? I don`t trade there, but I have some BNB, and I follow price movement. I don`t think there was any leak, it`s probably some joke from competitors, they are trying to slow down Binance progress, but as we can notice they didn`t succeed this time in that. BNB is on the rise and probably we will see BNB at $100 next year.
Binance is not hacked dear, it's old news brought up again recently by some guys trying to create FUD. I joined that telegram group to see things for myself, I mean the telegram group where KYC documents were dropped. This happened last year but I don't know why it's brought up again. I also wish the group is taken down by telegram if not deleted already.
Trying to isolate that's something important for people to know? That isn't appealing for company to do so.Anyone do have the right to expose something or the truth.Binance had been hacked or not,they already denied it but it seems the proofs is scattering everywhere which its somewhat convincing that these leakage were pretty legit.

Bitcoin was meant to be used as decentralized currency payment but never for escaping or evading taxes from governments.I HATE KYC. I hate centralized exchanges, and even though this hack is labeled as FUD, it just goes to show how vulnerable these exchanges are.

Centralized exchanges preferred for their better trading experience bu when we have all those on DEXs then why we need CEXs which means current centralized exchange lack of providing what centralized exchanges were doing.
The funny thing about all this is binance is denying having any data breach while innocent people get their information sold for peanuts all over the internet.
I also hear the hackers actually wanted to sell this data back to binance but they thought it was a bluff not until some data was leaked to some news sites for proof of the breach which has got their attention but no official feedback from them...maybe because of what I have read above saying its old news

Those were KYC photos from February 2018, I think they were a long time. Binance has confirmed the incident, and it is just that someone is trying to create FUD to adversely affect Binance. Telegram's group was deleted, hoping everything was fine.
I checked that telegram group where KYC documents were dropped and most are dated back to 2018. CZ claims that that's old news which someone brought up again to cause FUD. Telegram should take that group down, I believe many people must have reported it by now so that scammers won't download people's documents. Well, it's a very terrible scenario even if it happened last year, I hope nothing happens to the documents of the affected.
The KYC documents of individuals circulating and being bought and sold is a serious issue whether it was originated from binance or not.
There are plenty of such posts today about binance hack while the Bianance has officially stated they haven't been hacked at all.
We'd need more proofs and confirmation before deciding the origination of the IDs leak.

That needs more investigation and not all of the rumor can be considered as the fact. I think binance must do a check to that telegram group and try to identify if that was a real KYC document from the binance exchange site or not.
And again, i don't even like when you are shilling for stakenet when you are spreading unverified article.

Let's be guided please, I think binance has to confirm this before we believe this, for now it is a rumor and should be treated as such. About coin storage, no centralized exchange is safe for storing crypto assets.
