Tether CEO: Bitfinex data leak may be a fake event

According to BlockBeats, on May 4, Paolo Ardoino, CEO of Tether and CTO of Bitfinex, posted on the X platform that the Bitfinex data leak may be a false incident, based on the following: · The sample data contains 22,500 email and password records; · Bitfinex does not store plain text passwords, nor does it store 2FA passwords in plain text; · Only 5,000 of the 22,500 emails match Bitfinex users; · The suspected hackers did not contact Bitfinex. If they have any real information, they will contact Bitfinex through bug bounties, customer support tickets, etc. "While we believe this is pure FUD, we will continue to review the information to ensure that nothing is missed. The funds are safe."
