According to the Dark Web Informer, more than 230,000 records were already leaked. Binance denied any system breach, and attributed the leak to phishing attacks. Some of the other major security incidents that happened over the past few days include the US Department of Justice seizing over $200,000 in crypto tied to Hamas’ fundraising efforts. Meanwhile, the DeFi ecosystem faced yet another blow after a crypto whale exploited the meme coin Jelly my Jelly (JELLY) on Hyperliquid. The exploit ended up profiting more than $6 million and exposed some serious vulnerabilities in decentralized platforms.
Gemini and Binance User Records Allegedly Leaked
Dark web threat actors are reportedly selling sensitive user data that belongs to Gemini and Binance customers. According to cyber news outlet Dark Web Informer, a threat actor operating under the alias AKM69 put up for sale a database that allegedly contains 100,000 records of Gemini users.
The leaked data reportedly includes full names, email addresses, phone numbers, and location information, primarily from people in the United States, with some entries from Singapore and the UK. The threat actor categorized the data as part of a broader campaign aimed at selling consumer information for crypto-related marketing, fraud, or recovery schemes.

Meanwhile, another threat actor using the handle kiki88888 claimed to possess and sell data that belongs to Binance users. This listing allegedly contained more than 132,000 records, including email addresses and passwords.
Binance, however, denied that the data originated from a breach of their systems. In a statement, the exchange explained that the leaked data was likely obtained through phishing attacks, with hackers compromising browser sessions using malware rather than through a direct data leak. Dark Web Informer also confirmed this explanation, and urged users to be cautious online and avoid clicking suspicious links.
This is not the first time that Binance was targeted by hackers. In September of last year, a hacker known as FireBear claimed to have stolen a database containing 12.8 million records of Binance users, which reportedly included names, email addresses, phone numbers, and other personal information. Binance dismissed the claims after an internal security investigation, and stated that the allegations were completely false.
The crypto community is facing a wave of cyber threats. Earlier this month, Australian federal police alerted 130 people about a message scam that impersonated major crypto exchanges like Binance. Similarly, on March 14, several X users reported receiving fake messages imitating Coinbase and Gemini. These messages tried to deceive users into creating new wallets using pre-generated recovery phrases that were controlled by scammers.
DOJ Seizes Crypto Funds Tied to Hamas
Leaked data is not the only trouble the crypto space is facing. The United States Justice Department recently seized more than $200,000 in cryptocurrency that was allegedly intended to support the militant group Hamas.
In a statement that was released on March 27, the DOJ revealed that the $201,400 in funds was linked to fundraising addresses believed to be controlled by Hamas. These addresses were reportedly used to launder more than $1.5 million in digital assets since October of 2024. The laundering process involved a network of virtual currency exchanges, suspected financiers, and over-the-counter brokers. The funds were then dispersed across at least 17 cryptocurrency wallets.

The seizure happened during the broader efforts by US authorities to crack down on the use of cryptocurrency for illicit activities. In January 2024, the US Treasury’s Office of Foreign Assets Control, alongside counterparts in the United Kingdom and Australia, imposed sanctions on networks and people facilitating crypto transactions for Hamas. These actions followed earlier sanctions that were introduced in October 2023 targeting the group’s financial networks.
Three families of victims of the October 2023 Hamas attack on Israel also filed a lawsuit against Binance and its former CEO Changpeng Zhao in January of 2024. The lawsuit alleged that the crypto exchange provided necessary assistance to terrorist activities. Binance denied the claims, and its legal representatives stated that the company had no special relationship with Hamas.
Binance previously faced some intense regulatory scrutiny in the US over its anti-money laundering controls. This scrutiny ended up culminating in a $4.3 billion settlement with the DOJ in November of 2023.
The broader use of cryptocurrency by terrorist organizations like Hamas caused growing concern among US authorities. A December 2024 report by the Congressional Research Service pointed out that Hamas has been looking for crypto donations since at least 2019, although the extent of its success in this area is still unclear. Despite these incidents, a 2023 report from Chainalysis indicated that terrorism financing accounts for only a small fraction of cryptocurrency usage, with most illicit financial activity still taking place through traditional fiat channels.
JELLY Token Exploit Exposes DeFi Vulnerabilities
Exploits are also still wreaking havoc on the crypto industry. A crypto whale is accused of manipulating the price of the meme coin Jelly my Jelly (JELLY) on the decentralized exchange Hyperliquid, reportedly earning over $6.26 million in profits from the exploit.
According to blockchain intelligence firm Arkham, the unidentified whale strategically opened three large trading positions within minutes. The whale opened two long positions worth $2.15 million and $1.9 million, alongside a $4.1 million short position intended to offset the longs. When the price of JELLY surged by 400%, the large short position wasn’t immediately liquidated due to its size. Instead, the risk was transferred to Hyperliquid’s Liquidity Provider Vault (HLP), which handles large liquidations.
Further investigations by blockchain analyst ZachXBT revealed that the entity behind the manipulation still holds close to $2 million worth of JELLY tokens, controlling around 10% of the token’s supply. The tokens were bought after March 22, 2025, and the whale reportedly continued selling them even after Hyperliquid froze and delisted the meme coin because of evidence of suspicious market activity.
The JELLY exploit is the latest in a growing list of meme coin schemes that are designed to capitalize on investor hype. Just weeks earlier, another meme coin inspired by the Wolf of Wall Street suffered a similar fate, and crashed by over 99% after being launched with very large insider holdings.
Alvin Kan, the chief operating officer of Bitget Wallet, said the JELLY debacle sheds some light on the dangers of meme coins that are built solely on speculation and hype without any real fundamentals. He warned that projects lacking utility are bound to collapse in a fast-moving and unforgiving market. While Hyperliquid’s intervention helped reduce immediate losses, it also led to debate over whether such actions really compromise the decentralized principles of the platform.
