Australia’s largest cryptocurrency exchange, BTC Market, has breached the privacy of more than 270,000 customers, exposing their names and email addresses, making them vulnerable to fraud and cyberattacks.

Users of the exchange have made various posts on social media such as Reddit and Twitter, complaining that the company accidentally leaked the names and email addresses of almost all of its users.

BTC Market apologized to its customers on Twitter for the incident. The exchange also issued a statement acknowledging the situation.

“Earlier today, BTC Market disclosed customer names and email addresses. This is a very unfortunate situation and we sincerely apologize for it,” the tweet read.

The company said it would report the incident to the Office of the Australian Information Commissioner and conduct an internal review to recommend enhanced security measures around user details.

All are working to adjust to the chaos created by exchanges and curb the risks to user accounts.

BTC Markets CEO Caroline Bowler mentioned in a tweet that all users of the exchange were affected by the breach.

As a result, the company has contacted all users directly, advising them to use two-factor authentication for their BTC Markets accounts to help them keep their accounts secure.

Despite BTC Markets taking actions and making some suggestions to please users, it seems that most users have lost trust in the exchange.
