Data Leak Exposes 149M Logins, 420K Binance Accounts Compromised
A large cache of login credentials — roughly 149 million entries — was leaked and made available online, researchers report, with about 420,000 entries tied to Binance accounts. The dump also contains logins for Instagram, Facebook, Roblox, multiple dating sites and numerous other services, broadening the potential impact beyond just crypto users. The scale and variety of affected platforms increase the chance that reused passwords could enable cross-site account takeovers. The leak matters for crypto users because exposed exchange logins can lead to unauthorized trades or withdrawals if accounts lack strong protections. Security experts say affected users should assume compromise: enable multi-factor authentication, change reused passwords, and review account activity and withdrawal settings. The incident underscores ongoing risks from credential-stuffing and the need for stronger password hygiene across both crypto and mainstream online services.
