2026 Binance — ShinyHunters 335.9M records claim (unverified)
Data compromised
Claimed, unverified: hot-wallet assets, infrastructure data, private keys, ID/passport KYC, passwords, emails, phones, transaction history, split by country. 335.9 million is an advert line count, not a confirmed unique-people census. recordsAffected stays 0. Binance had not addressed this sale on pages reviewed 3 November.
Technical writeup
Keep separate from binance2026-security-incident-oct (company-confirmed withdrawals, no PII in that notice) and binance2026-unverified-market-listings (April ~1.5M forum leads).
Root cause
Telegram ads from 30 October to 2 November 2026, some tagged ShinyHunters, claim 335.9 million "lines" from Binance (KYC, passwords, keys, hot-wallet data). Asking price in the ads moved between $500k and $900k. Unverified. Not the 29 October DevOps-laptop withdrawal incident.
