April has seen an increase in the availability of user data from major crypto companies such as Ledger, Gemini, and Robinhood on the dark web. This leaked data includes personal details like full names, addresses, contact information, and more. The breach has raised concerns about cybersecurity in the cryptocurrency industry, which is already facing heightened online threats.

Reports from the Dark Web Informer account on X revealed that someone was selling user data from well-known crypto platforms like Ledger, Gemini, and Robinhood. Screenshots shared by Dark Web Informer showed that the seller possessed detailed user information, most of whom were based in the United States, aligning with the primary user base of Gemini and Robinhood.

Although no official statements have been released by the affected platforms regarding these leaks, similar incidents have occurred in the past. For instance, in 2021, Robinhood experienced a breach where hackers obtained millions of email addresses and customer names through social engineering tactics used on a customer support employee.

A recent BeInCrypto report highlighted another data breach affecting over 100,000 users, predominantly based in the US, with a smaller portion from Singapore and the UK. The leaked personal information was similar to the previous breaches. Experts suggest that these leaks may have been the result of phishing attacks rather than direct system breaches on the exchanges.

The number of affected users indicates that many individuals are still falling victim to such scams, especially with the advancement of AI-driven fraud and complex phishing techniques. Dark Web Informer advised users to be cautious as their data may already be compromised.

In response to phishing messages reported by users on X, Binance's Chief Security Officer mentioned that the company has enhanced its anti-phishing measures, including SMS verification, to address the issue.
