According to Aleo’s statement, it has begun implementing new long-term technical controls for its KYC confirmation practices.
Decentralized blockchain platform Aleo has released a statement regarding the recent Know Your Customer (KYC) information exposure. The zero-knowledge (ZK) platform blamed the leak on a copy/paste error in email metadata.
Aleo said in a post on the X social media platform that the KYC information leak affected about 10 participants from its recent Aleo Learn and Earn events. Aleo stated that it removed the exposed information, investigated the cause, and informed affected individuals.
The platform gathered users’ unencrypted KYC data through the third-party protocol HackerOne. However, based on Aleo’s findings, it said that it has begun implementing new long-term technical controls for its KYC confirmation practices.
