Access to Binance's Law Enforcement Request Panel Is for Sale for $10K
A bad actor is selling access to Binance’s law enforcement request panel for $10,000 in bitcoin or monero. The compromised access resulted from a global malware campaign targeting law enforcement officers' computers. Binance uses a third-party service called Kodex for law enforcement requests. Criminal hackers are increasingly targeting and compromising law enforcement email accounts to send fake Emergency Data Requests. Binance has encountered fraudulent requests, including private investigators posing as police. The vulnerability of Emergency Data Requests highlights the need for a more secure process. The Digital Authenticity for Court Orders Act aims to prevent the illegal use of forged court orders but currently only covers the U.S. and not other law enforcement agencies worldwide.
