Potential Bitfinex Data Leak Threat Denied By CTO


Published Sunday 5th May 2024

Recently, there were reports of a potential data leak at Bitfinex, a popular cryptocurrency exchange. The group FSOCIETY claimed to have stolen data from Bitfinex, causing concern among users. However, the Chief Technology Officer (CTO) of Bitfinex denied the threat and confidently stated that there was no security breach. This reassurance from the CTO helped alleviate fears and uncertainty surrounding the alleged data leak.

The claim made by FSOCIETY, a group known for its hacking activities, was quickly debunked by Bitfinex's CTO. It was suggested that the hackers used this false claim as a tactic to promote their hacking tool. By creating a sense of panic and urgency around a potential data leak at Bitfinex, FSOCIETY aimed to attract attention to their hacking tool and potentially lure unsuspecting individuals into falling victim to their schemes.
