A hacker is boasting about having access to a law enforcement request account called “KodexGlobal.” This account supposedly allows buyers to get user info from big platforms like <a href="https://news.todayq.com/coinbase-analysts-bullish-as-bitcoin-sees-relief-from-downward-pressure/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Coinbase</a>, Binance, Chainlink, and more. Cybersecurity folks at Hudson Rock shared this concerning info on February 4. Binance access through KodexGlobal 
The hacker is apparently <a href="https://news.todayq.com/sec-takes-action-against-stoner-cats-nft-creator-for-selling-unregistered-securities/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">selling access</a> to the KodexGlobal account on BreachForums. They’re offering the whole account for $5,000 or individual Emergency Data Requests (EDRs) for $300 each. According to Hudson Rock, this could lead to identity theft, extortion, and money losses, especially for people with crypto.
KodexGlobal is a platform for safe talks between law enforcement and regulators. If a hacker gets access, they can ask for personal data about a platform’s users by pretending it’s for legal reasons.
Hudson Rock thinks the hacker probably got into law enforcement systems by using credentials from Infostealer Infections. These often happen when computers owned by law enforcement officers get compromised. “Today, Hudson Rock researchers identified over 50 different sets of credentials for Google’s law enforcement system from various Infostealer infections,” said Hudson Rock.

In December, the same hacker reportedly attempted to sell access to <a href="https://news.todayq.com/binance-richard-teng-makes-new-pledges/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Binance’s</a> law enforcement portal via KodexGlobal. A screenshot displayed by Hudson Rock showed three compromised computers from law enforcement officers in Taiwan, Uganda, and the Philippines, raising concerns about potential data breaches.
During this incident, KodexGlobal brushed it off as a “scam.” Binance acknowledged being aware of such access, as reported by the cybersecurity firm. Global impact and Binance’s response 
In a separate incident, Binance denied a report claiming a “highly sensitive” cache of internal passwords and code had been exposed on GitHub for months. On February 5, Binance reiterated that there was no such leak and assured users that their accounts remain secure. All these events show that there are problems with how safe our information is on big websites. People who use crypto need to be extra careful because there’s a risk of someone stealing their identity or money.&nbsp;
While KodexGlobal calls recent claims a “scam,” the repeated attempts to sell access to law enforcement portals through the platform can’t be ignored. The compromise of credentials from law enforcement officers underscores a vulnerability that cybercriminals are eager to exploit.
