A leading compliant platform recently drew industry attention again due to an internal employee leaking customer data incident. On December 27th, the platform's senior management publicly confirmed that a former customer service staff member was arrested in India for involvement in a customer information leak case.

This incident dates back to May of this year. At that time, the exchange experienced a serious data breach, with hackers successfully stealing a large amount of sensitive customer information through bribing contractors and other means. This event exposed a common industry pain point: vulnerabilities in employee management and internal review mechanisms.

For cryptocurrency users, this reminds us that when choosing a platform, we should not only consider trading features but also pay attention to data security and employee management systems. Strengthening customer information protection and improving internal regulatory processes have become critical issues that major exchanges must take seriously.

Another "compliant" platform collapses, hilarious No wonder so many people are going for self-custody, your approach simply can't defend against it Employees stealing a little money and selling your data—this is the fate of centralization, isn't it?

Coming again? This time, even the Indian police had to step in, indicating that the insider problem is truly a chronic issue.

Here comes again, big platforms are not safe either --- Top-tier platforms also get hacked, who still dares to trust storing coins there --- This guy is really daring, even doing this with customer service --- If compliant platforms are like this, what about small exchanges... --- India has already arrested people, which means the situation is serious --- Such poor employee management, how can they still call themselves top-tier --- Data security is truly the Achilles' heel of platforms --- It was an issue in May, and now it's only confirmed? The response is way too slow --- Already said not to store coins on exchanges, now do you believe it? --- Bribing contractors? The entire chain is rotten through and through --- How to choose? Feels like there are hardly any truly reliable ones

Leak again and again? These major platforms really need to reflect on themselves --- If top platforms are like this, who can I still trust? --- Internal employees are more dangerous than external hackers; this is truly hard to defend against --- The May incident was dragged out until now to catch someone; is the efficiency that low? --- Choosing a platform really depends on the security system; otherwise, the money earned might all be leaked --- Internal review mechanisms are virtually useless; we can only hope for the best --- What’s going on with the arrest in India? How can a compliant platform pursue employees across borders? --- Data security is a weak point for all exchanges; no one truly pays attention --- I just want to know how much user information has been leaked but not yet made public --- Bribing contractors is really dirty; such things probably happen quite a bit in the industry --- Information security = platform image, but it’s also the easiest place to fail

Here we go again? Top platforms are just like this, data leaks are as common as daily meals. Employees are bribed or something, anyway our coins are just running naked. This matter has only been addressed since May, isn't that a bit late? No wonder they've been using small platforms all along, at least there aren't so many issues.

Are you still passing the buck here, one customer service taking the blame and the whole platform being rendered useless? --- Even compliant platforms are like this, who can I still trust? --- Employee management is indeed a mess, but the real question is what the audit department has been doing. --- Bribing contractors... why is this industry so corrupt? --- Choosing a platform depends on this: data security is more important than the number of trading pairs. --- Is it just about one person being arrested? What about the others? --- That's why I never keep funds on small platforms.
