Binance Finishes Covering $6.3 Billion of Stolen Customer Tokens
Binance said it has covered all of the $6.3 billion in cryptoassets pilfered from customers, marking a capstone to the largest cybertheft in history.
The Oct. 29 incident, which the US government and analysts have blamed on North Korea, involved not just common cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin, but more obscure tokens that took Binance more time to find and purchase. As of Thursday, the crypto exchange had restored all of them, according to a social-media post.
