Warning: Bittrex Leaked Users Verification Images

in cryptocurrency •  7 years ago 

If you have been veryfing on Bittrex, be carefull.

Russian telegram channel revealed leaked passports photos of users who have tried to complete the verification process on the Bittrex exchange.

Now, this really isnt good ad it puts in danger anyone whos passport images were leaked - afrer all these are private, sensitive data.

Whats probably even worse, it shows that Bittrex has holes in their security procedures. Lets hope it was just a small mistake by some of their emloyees.

This is not good at all.
If trading cryptocurrency will reveal your identity to public then this is probably unacceptable.
I personally think this is just a mistake by an employee or a planned idea by any of their kyc department representative to stake company's reputation.

Anywayz whatever the reality is it's alarming for users and also raised some questions which require justification.

Thanks for the heads up.

Really its very important information for us.

Very good new, Will be dangerous effect.

Oh man... this is alarming.
Not sure what I can do about it, but yeah, super not cool Bittrex.

Everytime you are uploading passport photo to the internet - you should be ready for compromising.
And shame on Bittrex, of course...

uhoh I trade on bittrex but I dont remember signing up with my passport.... or did i? what does this mean thou?

thts scary

I think that is stupid to trade on KYC (kick your client) exchanges if you have an option to be anonymous on BitShares. It is decent exchange with great security. Because you have all your assets in pegged smart coins and your balance in BTS collateral is on BitShares blockchain.

No crap with personal data, approving, possible tax collectors busting ....

I highly recomend to try it: https://wallet.bitshares.org

and by the way: BitShares blockchain is among buisiest on internet
