April has brought another wave of crypto user data leaks to the dark web. Personal details from big names like Ledger, Gemini, and Robinhood are reportedly being sold by online criminals.
The exposed data includes full names, phone numbers, email addresses, and even home addresses. Most affected users appear to be from the United States.
An X (formerly Twitter) account, Dark Web Informer, recently shared screenshots of a seller claiming to have this sensitive information. So far, none of the mentioned platforms have released official statements about the leak.
This isn’t the first time Robinhood has faced such trouble. Back in 2021, hackers stole over 5 million email addresses and 2 million names after tricking a support employee.
Recent reports revealed another large breach affecting over 100,000 users, mostly in the US, but also in Singapore and the UK.
Cybersecurity experts believe these leaks may not come from direct system breaches. Instead, phishing scams are likely behind them. These scams fool people into handing over personal details by pretending to be trusted services.
Experts warn that the rise of AI-driven scams is making matters worse. Deepfakes and fake messages are getting harder to spot.
Meanwhile, Binance confirmed it has improved its anti-phishing system. The update now covers SMS verification, aiming to better protect users from these growing threats.
