A hacker claims that he can access Binance and Coinbase user data through KodexGlobal

On February 5th, cybersecurity solution provider Hudson Rock disclosed that a hacker going by the name "Tamagami" claimed to have breached KodexGlobal, a secure network for communication between regulatory and law enforcement agencies, as well as a law enforcement request system for well-known tech companies such as Google, Meta, TikTok, and cryptocurrency projects such as Binance, Coinbase, Chainlink, Discord, and Fintech. The hacker is selling access to KodexGlobal accounts on breakachforums, allowing buyers to access user information from these companies. The hacker charges between 300 and 500 dollars per request for emergency data requests (EDR) on KodexGlobal when commissioned by a buyer, and promises that interested buyers can "access any TikTok account and obtain the desired data within 8 hours" for a payment of 500 dollars. Tamagami accepts any type of encrypted payment. The spokesperson for Binance stated that the investigation results from Hudson Rock do not necessarily represent damage to popular cryptocurrency exchange systems. The spokesperson stated: "Through a complete document process and continuous monitoring of any compromised accounts, we are still committed to protecting our user data from any form of unauthorized access."
