Odaily News Security researcher Jeremiah Fowler disclosed a leaked dataset of approximately 149 million Infostealer (information-stealing malware) records, which includes about 420,000 login credentials related to Binance. This data originated from infected personal devices and involves multiple platforms such as Gmail, Facebook, Instagram, and Netflix. Security experts emphasize that this is not a breach of Binance's systems but rather a result of infections on user-end devices. Binance stated it will monitor the dark web, alert affected users, and reset passwords, while also recommending users to enable hardware-level multi-factor authentication (MFA), use antivirus software, and strengthen account security.

Odaily News: The Bitfinex Alpha report points out that Bitcoin's upward attempt was hindered, failing to hold above the $95,000 to $98,000 resistance level and falling back into the established range. After hitting a high of $97,850 in mid-January, Bitcoin retreated by over 10%, falling below its yearly opening price. Spot buying momentum has weakened, and ETF outflows have intensified. Derivative positions have been adjusted in an orderly manner, with volatility reactions still confined to short-term contracts, indicating that market caution is event-driven rather than a broader shift in market mechanisms. In the absence of a recovery in spot and ETF demand, Bitcoin may continue to trade within a range until a clearer demand catalyst emerges.
