this is very worrying and I am afraid of this issue.
I feel safe with KYC and how I restore that trust. my question is:
is this a violation of the law, where should I complain about this case?
Topic: Hacked KYC data from the most popular exchanges (Read 198 times)
I am not surprised...I think we need few platforms with KYC verification like Tokeneed. Situation when every ico or exchange ask documents will lead to loss of privacy.
If this is true, then it's a serious setback for KYC. Today I will start using my Voters card for all my exchange KYC instead of my International Passport. A lot should be don to securing investors KYC from criminals. Some exchanges and Airdrop managers do sell off KYC at the dark web too.
That is if they accept Voters Card, some of them insist on using the passport. I tried using my driver's license the last time I was asked to submit documents, they rejected it and was requested to submit my passport. And then only to find out they aren't secure as they claimed. Documents like they collect are valuable for someone who wants to acquire crypto specially from a country that banned it.
there will be more dust around this leaking if this is a true story, its a FUD for me
At least the info about KYC data from Binance seems to be correct. From what I've read at Decrypt, the hacker provided more or less a proof he/she really has the KYC data.
For now I tend to believe that the hack is (unfortunately) real.

That's not the least bit surprised if it's true.Hackers steal millions from exchanges, so stealing documents for them costs nothing.It's a shame everybody knows that there is nothing safe in the network and still force them to undergo identification.
There is no really safe place for the hackers as they are more genius than the creators these people are gifted with great knowledge but the bad thing is they are using for illegal activities,i guess the news is still unverified and yet will remain hesrsay though this is not impossible since most of the registrationin crypto now needs KYc so our identity is always at stake
Unless you will provide a direct link to a reliable source news site it is very hard to believe. People nowadays will do everything they can even in a bad way just to earn money, some of them start with getting traffic to their fake news site
it seems to have become a common thing, not only in the crypto world, banks have also experienced the same thing since a long time ago, some cases were even carried out by their own staff. just for the sake of a little money, they legalize various illegal ways.
news are always say now a lie
Worrying that news. The privacy of many users has been exposed and criminal gangs use that information to forge fake documents.
