Binance Cuts SignalPlus API Access Following Security Alert
Binance revoked SignalPlus-linked API keys after the third-party platform flagged a possible security breach, while saying Binance systems and customer funds were unaffected.
Binance revoked SignalPlus-linked API keys after the third-party platform flagged a possible security breach, while saying Binance systems and customer funds were unaffected. JUST (JST) is trading at ₹13.14 ($0.1389), down 0.5% since this brief published. This is an original Token Times brief synthesising 4 outlets (Bitcoin.com, Crypto.news, Decrypt, and others), plus live market data, as of Thu, 05 Nov 2026 18:00:01 UTC.
The revocation limits a compromised trading service's access to Binance accounts. SignalPlus users operating on other exchanges may also need to review credentials because Binance's action does not address access elsewhere.
- Binance revoked every API key linked to SignalPlus.
- Binance said its systems and customer funds remained unaffected.
- The action followed reported losses of roughly $6.34 billion from a Binance hack.
- Bitcoin fell 5.21% over 24 hours as the market remained broadly lower.
Bitcoin.com, Crypto.news, Decrypt, U.Today and Protos all report that Binance revoked API keys associated with SignalPlus after the third-party trading platform raised a security concern. Bitcoin.com and Decrypt place the action about a week after the reported Binance hack, with Bitcoin.com citing $6.34 billion and Decrypt using the rounded figure of $6.4 billion. The outlets differ mainly in emphasis: U.Today describes a security vulnerability, Protos says SignalPlus may have been hacked, Crypto.news highlights founder Changpeng Zhao's warning to users of other exchanges, and Decrypt attributes the Binance attack to North Korea.

Binance revoked all API keys connected to SignalPlus on Thursday, Nov. 5, 2026, following a potential security issue reported by the third-party trading platform. The action removed SignalPlus-linked trading access to Binance, five outlets reported. SignalPlus is described as a crypto trading terminal or platform whose API connection could allow linked systems to interact with exchange accounts.
Binance said its internal systems were not affected and customer funds remained safe, according to 
Bitcoin.com and Decrypt. No evidence in the supplied coverage indicates that user assets on Binance were compromised through the SignalPlus connection. The revocation was therefore presented as a preventive measure, while Protos characterized SignalPlus as potentially hacked and U.Today described the alert as a security vulnerability.
The reporting corroborates the central response across all five outlets, but differs in how the underlying risk is characterized. Crypto.news said SignalPlus reported a potential security issue and reported that Binance founder Changpeng Zhao advised people using the service on other exchanges to take similar precautions. U.Today focused on the cutoff in third-party trading access, while Protos used the more direct possibility that SignalPlus may have been hacked.
The move came roughly one week after a reported attack on Binance. Bitcoin.com dated the earlier incident to Oct. 29, 2026 and put the reported loss at $6.34 billion, while Decrypt rounded the figure to $6.4 billion and attributed the attack to North Korea. Those are separate from the SignalPlus alert, but their close timing formed the immediate context for Binance's renewed emphasis on account security and the disconnection of third-party access.
Live market conditions were subdued as the story developed. The total crypto market capitalization stood at $2.63 trillion, the broader market was broadly down, and Bitcoin was down 5.21% over 24 hours. The Fear and Greed Index registered 50, classified as Neutral. Among the supplied live assets, 
JUST traded at $0.139612, down 0.44% over 24 hours and 1.08% over seven days, with a market capitalization of $1.12 billion.
The immediate focus is whether SignalPlus can identify and contain the reported issue and whether additional exchanges need to revoke connected credentials. Binance's statement that its own systems and funds were unaffected narrows the confirmed exposure described in the coverage, but it does not establish the status of connections held on other platforms. The broader market backdrop and SignalPlus investigation are the principal factors to monitor as traders assess the scope of the incident.
Since this brief published about 5 hours ago, JUST (JST) has moved from ₹13.21$0.1396 to ₹13.14$0.1389 — -0.51%.
The chart plots JST's price: grey is the move before this brief published, the vertical dashed line marks the moment it published, the horizontal dashed line is the price then, and the coloured area is the move since — from Token Times's market data (daily resolution). It shows what happened after the news, not that the news caused it; many factors move prices. Not financial advice.
At today's peer-to-peer rate, 1 JST ≈ ₹14.03 (about $0.1389), down 1.1% over 24 hours. The rupee itself trades about 6.7% above the official rate on the P2P market, so a Indian buyer's effective cost differs from the headline dollar price.
