A serious exchange security incident has recently been exposed— a former customer service representative of a leading compliant platform was arrested in India for involvement in a customer data breach. The incident dates back to May of this year when the platform was targeted by hackers who successfully obtained a large amount of sensitive customer information by bribing contractor employees. This event serves as a reminder to all users that exchange information security must defend not only against external hackers but also internal personnel risks. Compliance training and background checks for staff clearly need to be strengthened, as customer asset security is the lifeline of an exchange.

Finally, someone has paid the price for this, but the question is, how many insiders are still pretending to be dead on major platforms?

Insiders are even more terrifying than hackers, really.

It's another insider, I told you, it's easy to defend against hackers but hard to guard against insiders.

A compliant platform still dares to claim compliance? Laughable. Employees are so easily bribed.
---
Internal personnel risks are indeed extreme, harder to prevent than hackers.
---
Arrested in India? It took a cross-border operation to catch him; the efficiency is worrying.
---
Basically, it's because the salaries are too low, so it's easy for them to be bought.
---
Background checks are virtually useless; once the money is in place, anyone can sell out.
---
Customer information has been leaked; the compensation process will probably be very problematic.

Another "top-tier compliance" joke. That term no longer holds any value.

Damn, the insider is even more formidable than a hacker. Bribing a few employees can compromise the database. How outrageous is that?

The insider is the most terrifying, impossible to guard against.
