Just saw that some exchange got hit with an extortion attempt recently. A criminal group was basically threatening to leak internal system videos unless they paid up. Pretty wild. But here's the thing - no actual data breach happened according to them, so customer funds weren't compromised. Sounds like the real issue was two separate incidents where internal staff messed up and gave unauthorized access to support data for around 2,000 accounts. The exchange already told those users what went down and tightened their security controls. They're also working with law enforcement to potentially make arrests. Honestly, the fact that it was contained to just internal access is somewhat of a relief for anyone using that crypto currency exchange, but still concerning. You'd think these platforms would have better internal safeguards by now.
