Paolo Ardoino once again confirmed that the Bitfinex database leak was "fake news"

Bitfinex CTO Paolo Ardoino posted on the X platform to confirm that the so-called Bitfinex database leak is "fake news." Earlier, Tether CEO Paolo Ardoino posted on the X platform that the Bitfinex data leak may be a false event, based on the following: · The sample data contains 22,500 email and password records; · Bitfinex does not store plain text passwords, nor does it store 2FA passwords in plain text; · Only 5,000 of the 22,500 emails match Bitfinex users; · The hacker did not contact Bitfinex. If they have any real information, they will contact Bitfinex through vulnerability bounties, customer support tickets, etc. · The passwords disclosed by the hacker also do not meet Bitfinex's minimum password strength requirements.
