Claim: actor offers 600K OMPFinex user records for sale

What happened
A threat actor on a dark web forum claims to be selling data of about 600,000 users of OMPFinex, an Iranian cryptocurrency exchange. The claimed dataset includes full names, national identification numbers, phone numbers, dates of birth and home addresses. A sample shared with the listing looks consistent with exchange KYC records; the claim is unverified and OMPFinex has not commented.
Why it matters
If confirmed, highly sensitive personal data, including national IDs, of crypto exchange customers would be exposed. DailyDarkWeb notes that KYC data with national IDs is a ready-made kit for SIM-swap, account takeover and impersonation fraud, with users facing targeted phishing and fake support calls.
What to do
OMPFinex users should treat unsolicited contacts asking for data or codes as suspicious. Security teams should monitor for use of this data and prepare customer alerts. There is no product fix; the case awaits a response from the exchange.
