Poloniex denied information about user data leak

Cryptocurrency exchange Poloniex has commented on earlier reports that some of its users had to change passwords due to an alleged data breach. According to the latest notification, about 1% of users received letters from the exchange.

"To confirm: there was no data leakage from Poloniex, and our actions became a quick reaction to an external threat," the company writes..

She also reports that she reset the passwords of users who were at risk, as many of them use the same data in different services..

“We can now confirm that neither the list circulated on the web nor the information it contained was taken from Poloniex. For those who are interested in our security protocols, we store passwords not in plain text, but as secure bcrypt hashes, ”writes Poloniex.

The company also notes that about 90% of the passwords listed in the list were already present in the Haveibeenpwned database of vulnerable accounts..

“If you have an account on Poloniex and you have not received an email on this topic from us, you can rest assured that your address was not on the list. Less than 5% of the email addresses on the list were associated with Poloniex accounts, ”the publication says..
