Unverified claim — June 26, 2026: Actor burti allegedly posted a dataset tied to Jeroid, a Nigeria crypto-to-Naira exchange, offering 312,433 user accounts and 759,900 wallet records for free download. Jeroid had not confirmed at initial reporting.
What the actor claims
Per Dark Web Informer and a PH4R40H analysis, burti claims the leak includes emails, phone numbers, 110,282 BVNs, 64,300 NINs, face-verification photos, passport/voter-card/driver-license images, and full Level-3 KYC for 65,013 users, plus wallet balances on 129,423 wallets.
Why BVN exposure matters
Unlike a routine email leak, Nigeria's Bank Verification Number ties a person to every bank account. Security researchers note BVN+NIN+KYC photos enable loan fraud, SIM-swap escalation, and impersonation attacks that persist long after a crypto password change.
What Jeroid users should do
- Do not download leak archives — they may contain malware and fuel further abuse.
- Contact your banks to flag accounts linked to Jeroid and monitor for unauthorized loans.
- Enable MFA on email and any remaining fintech accounts; rotate passwords.
- Watch for phishing citing real wallet balances or ID document types.
- Wait for official notice from Jeroid or NDPC before treating actor counts as confirmed.
