BlockBeats News, May 17th, according to sources familiar with the matter, major cryptocurrency exchanges such as Binance and Kraken have also been subjected to a social engineering attack similar to the one recently disclosed by Coinbase Global Inc.

According to sources who wished to remain anonymous, both of these digital asset platforms successfully repelled the attack and did not lose any customer data. Kraken declined to comment on the cybersecurity issue, and Binance did not respond to requests for comment.

Sources indicated that the attack on Binance and Kraken was similar to that on Coinbase, but their internal policies and technology defended against these attacks.
