Binance and Deribit Revoke SignalPlus API Keys After Security Alert
Binance and Deribit have revoked API keys associated with crypto options trading platform SignalPlus after the company flagged a potential security issue, according to Coin Bureau Reuters, as both exchanges moved to address possible risks involving third-party account access.
Binance confirmed that user funds remain safe, while Deribit reported that it had found no signs of its systems or data being affected by the issue. The actions followed SignalPlus's warning about a potential security problem involving its platform.
Binance and Deribit Take Action on SignalPlus API Access
The two cryptocurrency exchanges revoked API keys linked to SignalPlus. API keys allow external applications and services to interact with exchange accounts, including through automated trading tools. Revoking those credentials prevents the associated access from continuing.
The response involved both Binance and Deribit, two platforms used by cryptocurrency traders. The action was taken after SignalPlus flagged a potential security issue, although the available source information does not specify the technical cause, scope, or precise nature of the suspected problem.
Binance said user funds are safe. Deribit separately stated that it had found no indications that its systems or data were affected. These statements distinguish the exchanges' reported security status from the potential issue identified by SignalPlus.
CZ Urges Users to Revoke API Keys on Other Exchanges
Binance founder Changpeng Zhao, widely known as CZ, also urged SignalPlus users to revoke API keys connected to other cryptocurrency exchanges.
His warning extended beyond the credentials associated with Binance and Deribit. Users who had linked SignalPlus to additional exchanges were encouraged to review and revoke those API permissions as well.
The recommendation highlights the importance of checking third-party trading integrations across multiple platforms when a service reports a potential security issue. Revoking API keys can remove an external application's access to an exchange account, although users may need to manage credentials separately on each exchange.
The source report does not provide further details about the suspected security issue or indicate whether any user accounts or funds were compromised through SignalPlus. Binance's statement that user funds are safe and Deribit's report that its systems and data showed no signs of impact remain the specific assurances reported so far.
