Algorithmic Trading Platform 3Commas Suffers API Key Leakage

Changpeng Zhao, CEO of cryptocurrency exchange Binance, has warned about the leak of API keys of users of the algorithmic trading platform for digital assets 3Commas.

According to him:

“I am reasonably sure there are wide spread API key leaks from 3Commas. If you have ever put an API key in 3Commas (from any exchange), please disable it immediately.”

He has pointed out that Binance cannot disable the keys on its own, as the team “does not know what APIs users have shared with other platforms.”

The hacker has reportedly already published part of the 3Commas database dump with sensitive information of Binance and KuCoin customers.

According to CoinDesk, around 100,000 API keys have fallen into the hands of the attacker.

It should be noted that 3Commas has confirmed the data breach.
