Approximately 30 minutes ago, Shinoji Research reported allegations that hackers had compromised user data on Bitfinex, a cryptocurrency exchange, and leaked 2.5 TB of data. The alleged group behind the hack, Fsociety, claimed responsibility. Nonetheless, Bitfinex's CTO Paolo Ardoino, also the CEO of Tether, denied the accusations, labeling them as 'fake'. He assured users that their funds were secure by stating that only a small portion of the leaked email and password records were linked to Bitfinex users. Ardoino emphasized that Bitfinex does not store sensitive information like plaintext passwords or 2FA details. Furthermore, he mentioned that the alleged hackers did not reach out to the company for a ransom and reassured users that Bitfinex has not discovered any security breaches so far. Ardoino mentioned that the platform's KYC system has restrictions to prevent bulk data downloading. Despite suspicions from security researchers, Bitfinex continues to investigate the situation to verify that no breaches have occurred. Lastly, Ardoino reiterated that user funds are safe.
