Recent statements from Binance’s CEO
Meanwhile, Changpeng Zhao, the famous CEO of Binance, came to the fore when he warned of a project. CZ made a statement after new speculations emerged about an incident in October. He cited “widespread API key leaks” from trading bot platform 3Commas. He said he was “reasonably confident” about this. A 3Commas spokesperson confirmed the leak.
An investigation conducted in October by 3Commas and the now-defunct FTX crypto exchange revealed that API keys were used to make unauthorized trades for DMG trading pairs. The 3Commas team was alerted to the incident on October 20 in which FTX API keys connected to the platform were used to perform unauthorized transactions. 3Commas said the API keys were not obtained from the company at the time and were likely obtained from a third-party phishing attack or hack.
