Tufan Poyraz, the well-known name of the Turkish cryptocurrency market, shared his research on this issue with his followers. Tufan Poyraz shared the following statements published on the forum site containing the information: "2nd wave is coming soon! Will you explain how and from whom this data is obtained? Yes, let me give you some information. In 2018, a person working at BtcTurk sold all user data (e-mail, phone, name, address, etc.) to more than one hacker. The company knew about the incident, but they never let it go public. They never let their users know about anything like it is right now. One of our team members lost 85% of his savings in this incident. The company accused the user of wrong doing and closed the matter. Can you believe this? Will release more details soon. Best regards, Phineas. ”
