3Commas Users Have Had their Binance API Keys ‘Stolen’ and Used to Contra-Trade Them

Binance integrating Tradingview on its futures contracts comes amidst several instances of users of the popular 3Commas trading bot experiencing losses on their accounts due to unauthorised access to their API keys. The latter were then used to contra-trade the affected accounts leading to massive losses.

Most recently, on December 11th, the altcoins of OM, AMP, NEXO, POLS, SUN, ARDR, BIFI, XVS, ARK, LOOM, and OSMO were suspected of having been contra-traded due to the 3Commas trading bot API issue.

The 3Commas team responded to the issue through a press release, stating that it had, since October, received several complaints about unauthorised trades on Binance, OKX and the now-bankrupt FTX. The team explained that they were dealing with each case individually and were doing their best to help affected users.

In addition, the 3Commas team explained that there was no exact pattern to the unauthorised trading, and it seemed the perpetrators were part of a sophisticated criminal organisation.

‘It is possible that API details were gathered over an extended period of time and then the perpetrators waited for the market to slow down and provide a window where many trading pairs were illiquid and easier to manipulate,’ 3Commas explained.

They added, ’If the perpetrators are part of a sophisticated criminal organisation, then it is probable that they were extremely patient until they felt they had gathered enough API keys and for the most opportune time to strike.’
