Hacked Customer Data From World Leading Cryptocurrency Exchanges For Sale On The Dark Web?

https://www.ccn.com/hacked-customer-data-from-world-leading-cryptocurrency-exchanges-for-sale-on-the-dark-web/

"On a darknet market called Dread, a vendor going by ExploitDOT is attempting to sell user data from the know-your-customer (KYC) data top cryptocurrency exchanges ask for, required by most jurisdictions.

According to data shared with CCN, the hacker has an ad that has been online since July 2018, in which he claims to have hacked documents used in KYC checks including identity cards and drivers licenses from users of top exchanges like Bittrex, Poloniex, Bitfinex, and Binance.

The data is seemingly for sale for $10 per 100 documents or more, with discounts applying for those who buy in bulk, all the way up to $1 per 1,000 for an order of over 25,000. CCN was able to independently verify the ad on the dark web, which is still online. No links to it will be added to avoid promoting the service."

One reason I refuse to send this shit to exchanges.

Let's hope this is just another scam and that this guy has really nothing to sell. Otherwise, it means that it's not just peoples' identities that are at risk but also their funds.

How would peoples funds be at risk? Surely only if their coins are actively kept on exchanges?
I have to admit Ive sent my driving license, proofs of address & a selfie to a number of exchanges.
