Other statements
The CEO of Binance (Changpeng Zhao) himself said that there was a widespread leak of API keys

The API key itself is a unique code that functions to provide login access and connect code from one developer to another.
This API key leak case had previously occurred last November on the Skyrex and 3Commas platforms.

Actually this API key leak can occur if:
- Team 3commas has a security problem and the key is leaked
- Insider Team 3commas is involved
It is unlikely that many of these cases occurred due to phishing. The 3Commas API key leak has been exposed to the public
