3Commas Users Have Had their Binance API Keys ‘Stolen’ and Used to Contra-Trade Them

Binance integrating Tradingview on its futures contracts comes amidst several instances of users of the popular 3Commas trading bot experiencing losses on their accounts due to unauthorised access to their API keys. The latter were then used to contra-trade the affected accounts leading to massive losses.

Most recently, on December 11th, the altcoins of OM, AMP, NEXO, POLS, SUN, ARDR, BIFI, XVS, ARK, LOOM, and OSMO were suspected of having been contra-traded due to the 3Commas trading bot API issue.

The 3Commas team responded to the issue through a press release, stating that it had, since October, received several complaints about unauthorised trades on Binance, OKX and the now-bankrupt FTX. The team explained that they were dealing with each case individually and were doing their best to help affected users.

In addition, the 3Commas team explained that there was no exact pattern to the unauthorised trading, and it seemed the perpetrators were part of a sophisticated criminal organisation.

‘It is possible that API details were gathered over an extended period of time and then the perpetrators waited for the market to slow down and provide a window where many trading pairs were illiquid and easier to manipulate,’ 3Commas explained.

They added, ’If the perpetrators are part of a sophisticated criminal organisation, then it is probable that they were extremely patient until they felt they had gathered enough API keys and for the most opportune time to strike.’

  • US Official: Ukraine Agrees to Avoid Strikes on Non-Russian Tankers and Black Sea Oil Facilities

    On August 8, according to a US official, Ukraine has agreed not to target certain non-Russian tankers and Black Sea infrastructure vital to Kazakhstan's crude oil exports. This follows ship attacks last month that caused loading disruptions. The US official said Ukraine has set up contact points so commercial shipping companies can communicate information and ensure safe passage. The commitment was reached after meetings between senior US government leaders and Ukrainian leadership, marking a potentially significant step toward increasing regional oil shipments. Previously, activity in the region had cooled significantly due to several recent attacks near the Caspian Pipeline Consortium terminal in Russia's Novorossiysk. (Jin Shi)

  • Trump: Data Centers May Be More Important Than Oil

    August 7 news, U.S. President Trump said in an interview with Punchbowl News, "I saw the other day that Texas seems to be opposed to building data centers. I think that's a mistake. I'm not taking a position—I just think it's a mistake, because there are other communities that want to build data centers. When a community is willing to accept data centers, it means a lot of money will flow into that community. I don't think they're ugly. Some of the data centers I've seen are the most incredible buildings I've ever seen. They are very important to the economy. If Texas says no to data centers, that's a mistake, because data centers may be more important than oil."

  • Trump to Meet with Mining Executives

    On August 7, according to CCTV International News, US President Trump will convene executives from some of the world's largest mining companies at the US State Department on August 7 local time, in an effort to take action to 'secure critical mineral supplies for the US and its allies.' Reuters reported that the US urgently needs critical minerals to replenish weapons inventories depleted during the war against Iran. During the more than five-month war with Iran, the US military expended large quantities of precision-guided missiles and air defense interceptors. US defense officials and lawmakers have warned that given existing production capacity constraints, replenishing some stockpiles could take years—although the Trump administration has denied reports of a so-called 'severe shortage of ammunition stockpiles.' According to Pentagon officials and defense companies, supplies of minerals such as rare earths, tungsten, germanium, and scandium are essential for manufacturing precision-guided missiles, fighter jets, armored vehicles, infrared sensors, and other advanced weapons systems. Expected attendees include industry giants such as global mining giant Rio Tinto Group, Australia's BHP, US Freeport-McMoRan, US Mountain Pass Materials, US Rare Earths, US Energy Fuels, and Canada's Metals Company. According to sources, the Trump administration plans to announce multiple deals and memorandums of understanding.
