Security researcher Jeremiah Fowler revealed a leaked Infostealer dataset containing approximately 149 million records, including around 420,000 Binance login credentials collected from infected user devices. This data also includes login information for many other popular services such as Gmail, Facebook, Instagram, and Netflix.
Experts emphasize that this is not a Binance system breach, but rather the result of user devices being infected with information-stealing malware. Infostealers typically spread through malicious software, fake utilities, or unsafe downloads, then silently collect login credentials, session cookies, and other sensitive data.
In response, Binance stated that it will monitor underground forums for leaked data, proactively notify affected users, and require password resets. The platform also recommends users enable multi-factor authentication with hardware devices, install antivirus software, and strengthen account security layers to minimize the risk of theft.

SBF Denies FTX Bankruptcy in Prison, Reveals Truth, and $8 Billion Funding Gap Sparks New Crypto Controversy
On February 10th, Sam Bankman-Fried, who has been sentenced to 25 years in prison on multiple charges of fraud and conspiracy, spoke out again through his verified X account, claiming "FTX has never gone bankrupt," and accused the company's lawyers of submitting a "false bankruptcy petition." This statement starkly contrasts with the U.S. court rulings, regulatory documents, and financial audit results, and has quickly attracted attention within the crypto community.
According to judicial records, SBF was involved in embezzling over $8 billion of customer assets, leading the platform to become insolvent by the end of 2022. The massive losses of his affiliated trading firm Alameda Research were the direct cause of the collapse. Although subsequent asset recoveries and market rebounds have improved creditor expectations in some cases, prosecutors and judges both emphasized that this does not change the established facts of fraud.
