One of the most popular phishing methods for cryptocurrency users is the scam fake text message method.

Recently, some Binance users in Turkey reported that they were receiving SMS text messages with phishing links inside.

But the question arises, how did these hackers get to the phone numbers of users of the Benas platform?

Some suspect that the Binance data leak issue is starting to show its signs.

Others argue that it is possible that Turkish Binance users have been hacked.

receive Turkish Binance users are fake messages and many are confused as to why.

Binance reacted to this and issued a statement warning users against clicking on links in SMS messages.

Phishing messages mean that they appear to be coming from Binance and carry the phrase, for example:

Urgent: Verify your Binance account

With the recipient of the message provided with a link, the user is asked to click on the “Login” link and then the password is hacked.

And as we mentioned at the beginning of the topic, the questionable issue is how the scammers got the phone numbers of Turkish Binance users?

As such a leak can only be explained by a Binance hack in some way.

So far, however, Binance has not announced any breach of personal information whatsoever, but it has issued an announcement warning users.

Therefore, it seems that there is a clear leak of data, and the Binance platform must clarify the matter to remove the confusion and to find out the extent of the damage caused to the hackers.

Binance issues:

The Binance trading platform has been facing a number of problems recently that have alarmed users, such as last month when user accounts were cleared or orders were incorrectly processed and the platform fixed the problem.

The platform also stopped several times for maintenance and to address, according to what it stated, “performance problems.”

Without forgetting the recent controversy over the platform’s headquarters, which seems not to be in Malta, as it used to be.

And if it is true that the platform has been exposed to a data leakage of Turkish users, then the platform should tell this for more transparency and to ensure the safety of its users.

This is not the first time, and it will not be the last, that user data has been leaked, as BitMEX platform data was leaked last year:
