One of the world's biggest cryptocurrency exchanges says it has launched an investigation after an "unidentified individual" threatened to leak a trove of its customer data.
Binance, which ranks as the top exchange by volume traded, said in a company statement today that the individual had demanded 300 bitcoin—the equivalent of more than $3 million—to halt the release of 10,000 photos showing "know your customer" data from the organization.
