A recent report shows hackers can now move funds within seconds after an attack begins.
Data from 255+ hack incidents (~$4B total) reveals:
โข 76% of stolen funds were transferred out before the hack became public
โข Nearly 50% of funds moved through cross-chain bridges
โข About 49% of funds are still untouched โ hackers are waiting for better exit conditions
In many cases, funds have already passed through multiple wallets before the community even realizes something is wrong.
What This Data Really Means
Three major shifts are happening:
1. Hacks are happening faster than ever
2. Laundering is slower but far more sophisticated
3. Cross-chain infrastructure is becoming the highway for illicit flows
Crypto is entering a new phase:
Speed is alpha โ even for hackers.
How Binance Is Upgrading Its Defenses
While attackers accelerate, the defense side is evolving just as quickly.
A key direction is clear:
Security is becoming a default layer, not just an optional feature.
Security Center in Wallet
Key capabilities:
โข Wallet risk scanning
โข Alerts for suspicious or dangerous addresses
โข Smart contract permission checks
This allows users to detect threats before trading, rather than after losses occur.
AI-Driven Fraud Detection
Modern anti-scam systems now rely on:
โข Behavioral analysis
โข Transaction pattern recognition
โข Real-time alerts
This is no longer just blacklist filtering.
It is behavior-based detection.
SAFU โ The Last Line of Defense
The SAFU fund continues to function as:
โข A buffer during major incidents
โข A trust layer for the ecosystem
Simply put:
Security today is no longer a single barrier.
It is a multi-layered defense ecosystem.
SignalX Take
The most important shift is not the amount stolen.
Itโs the change in hacker behavior.
