Binance drops SignalPlus API keys after potential hack

Binance has removed all of its API keys associated with crypto trading terminal SignalPlus as an “immediate precautionary measure” following a potential hack at the third-party firm. 

Binance posted today to its X account, “Binance’s own systems are unaffected. User funds remain safe.”

Crypto derivatives exchange Deribit also removed all SignalPlus API keys in response to the potential incident.

Binance advised its users to review their positions and open orders while waiting for SignalPlus to give the all-clear before “rebinding any API keys, and always enabling IP whitelisting.”

The exchange also called for its third-party partners to “review their security controls, monitor for unusual activity and contact us immediately if they detect any concern.”

Binance was hacked for $6.3 billion earlier this month and is currently in the process of opening up further withdrawals and replenishing the stolen funds.
