I think this is just some fud trying to take down CZ and binance because the exchange has been the most popular and trusted by many despite of the hacked happened months ago. We really don't know if it's true or not but one thing is for sure CZ will take care of it, he's a professional when it comes to this kind of situation.

Binance already post an article to clarify this issue. they said if they still investigated this issue. You can read full information about this issue here
Investigating will soon brings final position with this current concern, binance will give their statement regarding to this if there's a leak of KYC information from those end users from the exchange, there's a lots of participants who aimed to invest from launchpad where KYC is part of requirements, still needs to wait for Binance team to confirmed nor to denied this allegations after the investigations already have the results.

Along with this, please see the latest retweet by CZ claiming it as a FUD only. The tweet says,

Quote
Disappointed with Coindesk. Misreports many "details"; Takes word verbatim from a fake "altruistic white hat" hacker, who hides behind an avatar, and demands 300BTC upfront, claims he can hack the hackers (but doesn't), and turns that into "news". Bad reporters make FUD Desk.

Original tweet: https://twitter.com/truthurtm/status/1159308612772061185

Nowadays, it is very easy to spread a FUD. However, I am sure Binance is not taking this FUD any less seriously the way they had handled their last hack. No other exchange had shown such kind of professionalism and seriousness earlier while handling a 40 million USD hack.

I think Binance not really force people to do KYC in their exchange. If me not wrong, i am not do any KYC although my withdrawal limit is small. Maybe if this is true, we should really concern and aware before we give our identity to any exchanges because identity is something that really risky if used by wrong people.

Absolutely right I'm using binance without doing a KYC this is only for those people who wants a large minimum withdrawal limit. And according to CZ this KYC issues is not true so stop sphreading fund.

Thats right! They already announced and stated that security was not breached and for sure these are from people who want bnb to go down but CZ is so bright and for sure if in case that it was true there would be no issue and they will do best to resolve it right and then it just that informtation are totally different from crypto if being hacked. It can be used for fraudulent use.

In my opinion, this is just a way to attract people to join their channel communication. I saw some images leaked, they were unclear, of course those documents could not be surpassed by Binance's KYC requirements.
I also think like you but this cannot be certain because surely there will be a lot of real KYC real. This has affected this exchange in a very short time and currently the Telegram channel has been deleted so there is no need to worry too much about this. I think Binance is still protecting user data in the safest way and if you have KYC in this exchange, you will have more incentives in the near future.

That's right, KYC on binance is only for customers who want to withdraw more than 2btc every day. From CZ's social media, there is no hacking on the KYC binance and this event is old news with new issues. Even if this is old news, hopefully binance can improve its security to prevent hacking from happening again

The reason why i still like using binance exchange is because of how ease it is to use without forcing KYC on users,im glad this hack is nothing but a false news since its hasnt been proved otherwise and the last binance hack must have set a big example for binance to always stay ahead of hackers by upgrading their security from time to time to avoid losing funds to hackers again,im glad its still up and running because the exchange is the best choice for me.

I've never actually used Binance before but I always assumed they were one of the only non-KYC exchanges out there. Why do they have over 10,000 KYC documents then?

I assumed the exchange was mostly crypto deposit/withdraw only. Looking at the pairs, they only got crypto fiat counterparts like Tether, PAX, USDC, etc.

So who exactly gets KYC'd on Binanance? Is it only people from the USA? Or are people just randomly being KYC'd due to fishy deposits and mixers?

Really sad to hear this. Even big exchanges are not safe, so what we can say about smaller ones?

Really need some explanation officially from Binance directly.
This is the official article from binance concerning the issue https://www.binance.com/en/blog/365766157488967680/Statement-on-False-KYC-Leak
it looks like that was a misleading thread and it much better to block it or mark it as a crap crypto news site.
I remember this rumour has been used by so many FUDDERs  to spread the false news to make anyone being panic. This is a really bad action from those who are spreading the false news about binance.
CZ can be trusted even more than OP.lol

Definitely, this looks true as too much suspicious activity has being going around the Binance.

This would be the second time in the space of a few months that Binance will be trending for the wrong reasons, hack to be precise, this is terrible for the image Binance is trying to protect, a lot of measure needs to be taken very fast, if not Binance could lose its reputation.

We can't verify if this is true or not, unless we will see some confirmation coming from the Binance team.
I would like to know also if there was an investigation happening conducted by a 3rd party of the recent hack on the exchange and now this FUD is quite alarming as well since it's our personal data, personally I complied with KYC so I hope this will also be investigated so Binance will be sanction for their weak security in the even it's proven true.

Binance is a top cryptocurrency exchange with lots of users data so many hackers target them daily but be rest assured that binance has a team of internet security experts that will prevent it from happening and when it does happen binance will try it's best to fix the issues.

Really, I don't want to believe these bad issues again about the big exchange, Binance. But, if the prooves are reliable and can be proof enough, we must be more careful and watch out of all our identity on Binance. Binance is supposed to be a very great exchange, this is the big one among the other exchanges, it should have triple security systems that are more secure and guaranteed. Is that only the accusation or what? Really need some explanation officially from Binance directly.
