Binance, a leading crypto exchange, has suffered a significant data leak with sensitive material, including code and internal passwords, inadvertently exposed on GitHub for months. The leaked data, posted by an account named "Termf," encompassed code related to Binance's security implementations, infrastructure diagrams, and passwords for production systems. Despite the potential security implications, Binance assured that the leaked data does not compromise their current production environment and maintains that user data and assets remain secure. The exposure, available since at least January 5, was taken down after a copyright request by Binance, which emphasized the severe financial and reputational risks involved.
