CEX Security Breach

Definition

A CEX security breach refers to an unauthorized intrusion into a centralized cryptocurrency exchange’s systems. This incident results in the compromise of user data, digital assets, or operational integrity, often due to vulnerabilities in software, phishing attacks, or insider malfeasance. Such breaches can lead to substantial financial losses for users and reputational damage for the exchange. They underscore the constant need for robust cybersecurity measures and vigilance in the digital asset trading environment.
