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.
