According to the publication, on March 27, a darknet user with the nickname AKM69 conducted the most recent recorded transaction.
“The database offered for sale reportedly includes 100,000 records, each containing full names, email addresses, phone numbers, and location data of individuals from the U.S., as well as Singapore and the UK,” noted Dark Web Informer.
The hacker classified his “lot” as part of a “broader campaign to sell consumer data for marketing and cryptocurrency-related fraud.”
A day earlier, on March 26, Dark Web Informer reported that a user with the nickname kiki88888 was offering to sell login credentials of Binance clients. The compromised data contained 132,744 lines of information.

Dark Web Informer clarified that the data leak is not related to a vulnerability in the trading platforms:
“Some of you really need to stop clicking random buttons.”
In a comment to Cointelegraph, Binance representatives denied a direct connection to the incident. According to them, hackers selling personal information accessed it through malware on infected client devices.
Back in January, the email addresses of over 7 million users of the NFT marketplace OpenSea were leaked online.
