VaultEx's Internal House Prices Were Visible to the Entire Public for 7 Minutes This Morning — the Feed Showed the Platform Had Been Paying 34–61% Less Than the Prices It Charged Users — for 14 Months — VaultEx Has Called It a 'Display Formatting Error'

A data feed misconfiguration on virtual asset exchange VaultEx exposed the platform's internal acquisition prices to all 2.3 million logged-in users for 7 minutes and 3 seconds this morning. The exposed feed displayed two price columns side by side: the prices VaultEx charged users and the prices VaultEx actually paid to acquire the same assets — a differential of between 34% and 61% depending on the asset class. The feed covered 14 months of transaction history. VaultEx took the feed offline at 09:07 server time. In a statement, VaultEx described the incident as a 'display formatting error during a routine infrastructure update' and said 'no user data was compromised.' The company did not address the substance of the pricing differential the feed revealed.
