Probably delisting

4 בינו׳

A little bird told me that an influential person exposed a leak of 2 million users, including all the top figures and developers of TON / their projects, with links to their names, personal data, user IDs, etc. Additionally, he and his 100k community started requesting all CEXs to delist these projects. Probably zero is coming

During his investigation, he also uncovered an interesting scheme involving the laundering of unaccounted cash and tax evasion through Telegram Stars, which was allegedly used by people close to Pavel Durov. He suggested this might be the real reason for Durov's detainment.

Additionally, a bot farm was exposed that inflated the MAU (monthly active users) metrics of Telegram-related apps.

Finally, it turned out that the top figures of various projects had dumped all their tokens onto the market, with him providing proof directly from their wallets.

All this information initially surfaced in the Soviet part of the internet and is only now spreading across Telegram channels.

This is not an ad, and I have no connection to the channel, but if you want to see for yourself, look for Ghost in the Block.

Okay, the info starts to appear in the western part of the internet now:

Ton has suffered a major data breach, undermining trust in the ecosystem. Over 2.7 million records leaked online. Ghost’s TG channel investigation revealed the scale (and is still up). Usernames, IDs, and wallets of top managers and 80-90% of the TON blockchain are exposed.

Summary:

Full names + username + job titles + Telegram IDs + wallets of Ton’s top management have leaked. The database contains ~2000 entries.

username + Telegram ID + full names + wallets of 80-90% of the entire TON blockchain – which also happens to be Telegram users – have leaked. Currently, 2.7 million entries are out there. In reality, the number is higher. There are, of course, many bots.

With simple OSINT techniques, all leaked usernames and IDs can be traced to personal data.

To summarize:
💢 Linking IDs and Wallets
A core principle of cypherpunk ideology is the absence of identity attachment to assets. But here we see a direct connection: usernames (clearly from Telegram), IDs, and wallets. This kills user anonymity, making them potential targets. What prevents someone from linking this data to real identities? Nothing.

💢 Centralized Data Control
The cardinal sin of decentralization – storing sensitive data in centralized databases. This is what happens when someone decides it’s “more convenient.” One leak, and the entire “security” crumbles, followed by the reputation. Cypherpunks are shaking their heads.

💢 Unjustified Data Collection
Why store such data at all? Especially in a format where usernames are directly linked to IDs and wallets. In decentralized systems, collecting such data contradicts the entire idea.

💢 No Failure Protection
Where’s the hashing? Data masking? Even if this database was for internal use, at the very least, the data could have been masked to prevent direct correlation.

Consequences:
💢 User De-anonymization
If someone links their crypto wallet to an account tied to real data (like a Telegram username), all their financial activity becomes public knowledge. From there, it’s easy to dig deeper – a bit of OSINT, and even personal addresses could be uncovered.

💢 Target for Attacks
Users whose data is in this database become potential victims. Phishing, social engineering, account takeovers – the scenarios are endless.

💢 Loss of Trust in the Platform
If this involves a service that advertised security or privacy, this leak destroys its entire reputation. The cypherpunk community doesn’t forgive such mistakes.

My personal recommendation for spot guys is to get rid of the token asap
Exit Pump is possible, but it's like a casino, i wouldn't count on that
For features i think you can short till the end, that's what im going to do
