Binance Jersey is one of four independent branches of Binance, the world’s largest cryptocurrency exchange by volume. Binance also operates exchanges in Malta, Singapore, and Uganda with Binance US set to open with the next two months according to a recent report.

Linking to his Twitter account, the hacker asked Binance CEO Changpeng ‘CZ’ Zhao to contact him directly.

The Twitter hacking comes almost three months after a successful hacking of Binance’s online exchange, costing the exchange over 7,000 bitcoin.

As of press time, Binance has deleted the posts.
