FBI confirms it: North Korea’s TraderTraitor was behind the $6.3 billion Binance theft.
On October 31, the FBI issued an alert jointly with the U.S. Secret Service and IRS Criminal Investigation. This was the first time the FBI officially attributed the attack; until now, it had only been the assessment of analytics firms like TRM and Chainalysis.
The FBI said the stolen funds are being converted into ETH on a large scale, and will then be moved around further through DeFi and instant-exchange platforms.
The FBI also published a long list of addresses holding stolen ETH, BTC, and SOL, calling on node operators, exchanges, and DeFi platforms to help block the funds.
In my view, analytics firms can say what they like, but it’s not confirmed until the FBI makes it official. From here, the focus of recovering the funds shifts from “who did it?” to “where is the money going, and can it be stopped?”
I’m watching two things: whether major platforms actually block the addresses holding the stolen funds, and whether Binance withdrawals resume on time this afternoon. If withdrawals are delayed again, it means the cleanup is not yet complete.
Do you think the FBI naming names this time can actually stop these funds from being moved around, or is it just symbolic?

FBI calls for blocking
THORChain co-founder responds first
Chad Barraford’s position is straightforward:
The information held by THORNode operators
doesn’t go beyond what’s public.
This data can already be checked in real time.
Law enforcement may not necessarily need a subpoena to obtain it.
The background is that
the FBI is calling on nodes, RPC providers, and DeFi platforms
to block transactions and address flows linked to the Binance attack.
On one side is publicly available on-chain data.
On the other is whether platforms should proactively block transactions.
How far nodes should cooperate—
each party bears responsibility for its own actions.
Publicly accessible doesn’t mean automatically blocked.
Blocking doesn’t mean recovery, either.
What happens next depends on what nodes and platforms actually do.

$6.3 BILLION VANISHED 🕵️ Binance Calls FBI & Secret Service - Biggest Crypto Heist In History📜👺😲History's largest crypto hack confirmed...
$6.3B drained in 20 mins from hot wallets..
$3B frozen, FBI & USSS now tracing.
''BINANCE IS WORKING WITH FBI AND US SECRET SERVICE AFTER $6.3 BILLION CRYPTO HEIST - *Verified Report
Summary:
Binance, the world's largest crypto exchange by volume, confirmed a record $6.3 billion security breach on Oct 29-30. A source familiar with the situation told Reuters that Binance is working with law enforcement around the world, including the FBI and US Secret Service, after the hack.
This would be the largest crypto theft in history, 4x bigger than the $1.5B Bybit hack in Feb 2025.
What Happened !!
- Between ∼20:04 - 20:20 UTC on Oct 29, unauthorized withdrawals drained Binance hot wallets across 10 blockchains. Most of the ∼$6.36B moved in about 20 minutes.
- Binance's initial investigation pointed to a compromised DevOps engineer's laptop which allowed an attacker to access a service container and submit unauthorized withdrawal transactions.
- On Oct 30, Binance said a subsequent investigation uncovered "additional points of breach" - calling it a "complex attack".
- No evidence of private key leak from wallets has been found so far.
- Some analysis suggests attackers used Ethereum's EIP-7702 authorization (50 authorizations signed with wallet's own key) to bypass checks and drain a wallet labeled Binance 14 of ∼$1.6B in USDT, 167k ETH and 60+ tokens. d7883c2da2219156
FBI / Secret Service Collaboration:
Reuters source says Binance is working with FBI and USSS to trace and recover funds. The official Binance statements say they are "working with law enforcement, token issuers, blockchain intelligence firms and industry partners to trace, freeze and recover". US Embassy London declined to comment, USSS did not respond outside US hours. 965b
Funds Frozen & Recovery:
- Binance says ∼$3 billion frozen on-chain so far, figure may increase.
- Tether froze ∼$1.6B in USDT and Circle froze ∼$800M in USDC.
- Other freezes: Ripple USD, World Liberty USD1, XUSD, WBETH, Tether Gold, Pax Gold, Arbitrum ARB $30.5M (74.6M ARB + 8,425 ETH) moved to frozen wallet by Arbitrum Security Council, and First Digital froze FDUSD.
- Arkham / Bitquery estimate attacker wallets still hold ∼$5.7B including 18,270 BTC split into 19 wallets, unspent as of Oct 30 06:43 UTC. a22152e2d788
Who Is Behind It:
- TRM Labs attributed attack with "high confidence" to TraderTraitor, a North Korea-linked hacking group behind Bybit $1.5B hack. Chainalysis and investigator ZachXBT also linked it to Lazarus Group. Binance has not publicly named a suspect.
- Binance had disclosed on Oct 27 it blocked North Korea-linked attacks using fake job interviews. 52e2
Binance Response & Market Impact:
- Deposits and withdrawals were temporarily suspended. Deposits now operating normally, withdrawals expected to resume within 48 hours / 45 hours as of Oct 30 08:37 UTC.
- Co-CEO Yi He said Binance reserved $6.34B in company funds ($5B in matching assets) to repurchase stolen altcoins via OTC and exchange trades to restore Proof of Reserves. Binance will cover all losses from SAFU fund + company funds. SAFU is emergency reserve established in 2018.
- Market impact: ∼$130B wiped off total crypto market cap, Bitcoin fell below $77k to ∼$76,368, Ether to ∼$2,178, institutional investors rushing to withdraw from centralized exchanges.
- http://Binance.US said it is NOT affected. c058a221965b8b8c8c9e
Present Situation (Oct 30, 16:00 UTC):
Investigation ongoing, no official attribution by Binance, technical post-mortem and updated Proof of Reserves promised.
Law enforcement coordination active. Withdrawals still paused pending security revamp.

Bros!! The FBI has officially confirmed it!!!
Over the weekend, the U.S. Federal Bureau of Investigation issued a cybersecurity alert, naming TraderTraitor, a North Korean state-sponsored hacking group, as the main culprit behind this roughly $6B+ Binance theft. It’s the same crew that pulled off the roughly $1.5B Bybit heist last year (FBI / AP / ABC, Oct 31–Nov 1)~
They’ve observed that most of the stolen assets are being converted into ETH, and expect the group to keep laundering funds through DeFi and instant-swap services. They’ve also called on exchanges and blockchain analytics firms to monitor the listed addresses and block related transfers.
CoinGecko has BTC hovering around $77.7K right now, ETH at about $2,268, and BNB around $703~ Honestly, attribution by private companies is one thing, but an FBI confirmation is on another level. Don’t mistake “still under investigation” for “nothing to worry about” and call it a day, haha.
How much do you think they’ll recover—or should we just keep an eye on whether withdrawals actually reopen?

🚨 Over $6 billion in Binance assets stolen; FBI points to North Korea 🎯
The FBI announced that North Korea may be responsible for a major theft from Binance that occurred around October 29, and dubbed the attack “TraderTraitor.”
The thieves reportedly converted most of the assets into ETH and may have laundered them further through DeFi and instant exchange services. The FBI has published hundreds of associated ETH, BTC, and SOL addresses, urging THORChain, RPC nodes, exchange platforms, and others to block related transactions.
🔍 The specific attack method and money-laundering routes remain unclear. The investigation is ongoing.
This is not investment advice.

The FBI announced that North Korea may be responsible for a major theft from Binance that occurred around October 29, and dubbed the attack “TraderTraitor.”
The thieves reportedly converted most of the assets into ETH and may have laundered them further through DeFi and instant exchange services. The FBI has published hundreds of associated ETH, BTC, and SOL addresses, urging THORChain, RPC nodes, exchange platforms, and others to block related transactions.
🔍 The specific attack method and money-laundering routes remain unclear. The investigation is ongoing.

First, the good half of the story: At 10:30 p.m. last night, Binance once again said it still hopes to resume withdrawals today, Sunday. The FBI and U.S. Secret Service have also publicly stepped in: one says it’s coordinating assessments, while the other says it’s tracking, freezing, and recovering funds around the clock. Circle has frozen 823 million USDC, and Tether 1.57 billion USDT—more than 2.3 billion combined. They’re clearly taking action, and $BTC is still holding above $77,000.
But the other half needs to be made clear too: “expected to resume today” doesn’t mean “already resumed.” Withdrawals will reopen in phases, with queues. And frozen funds aren’t the same as money back in users’ hands. Around $3 billion has been frozen on paper, but no one can guarantee how much will actually be returned. More troubling still, law enforcement stepping in shows this is now beyond what the exchange can handle on its own.
So there’s just one question left: when withdrawals open, will you rush to be among the first to withdraw, or wait for others to test the waters and move once withdrawals are going through smoothly?

Reuters, citing people familiar with the matter, reported that Binance is working with law enforcement agencies in several parts of the world to investigate the theft of approximately $6.3 billion in cryptocurrency. Its partners include the U.S. Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) and the U.S. Secret Service (USSS). The U.S. Embassy in London has declined to comment, and the Secret Service has not yet responded to a request for comment.
From a security perspective, investigations into thefts on this scale typically focus on tracing funds on-chain, cross-chain transfers, mixing services, and fiat off-ramps. Blockchain transactions are publicly traceable, but identifying suspects and freezing assets still depends heavily on international law enforcement cooperation.
This is also a reminder to users: exchanges are primarily for trading and should not be used to store all of your long-term assets. For large sums, consider using a hardware wallet, along with address whitelisting, strong passwords, and two-factor authentication. Security is not about damage control after the fact—it starts with preparation.
Key developments to watch include official investigation updates, the amount of assets frozen, and the movement of funds linked to the case.

Trump is holding a meeting at the White House on Wednesday. The topic is neither tariffs nor the election, but fraud prevention.
A White House official told Reuters that Trump will announce a crackdown on overseas crypto scam networks targeting Americans at a Wednesday event focused on preventing cybercrime. There are two main priorities: seizing a number of fraudulent crypto investment websites and cracking down on online impersonation scams.
The guest list is top-tier: Homeland Security Secretary Markwayne Mullin, FBI Director Kash Patel, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, Attorney General Todd Blanche, Chief of Staff Susie Wiles, Deputy Chief of Staff Miller, and National Cyber Director Sean Cairncross will also attend. With Homeland Security, Defense, the FBI, and Justice all represented, this is clearly being treated as a national security issue.
Why now? The FBI’s Internet Crime Complaint Center has just released its 2025 annual report: it received more than 1 million internet crime complaints over the year, up 17% from the previous year. There were 181,565 crypto-related complaints, with losses totaling $11.4 billion, up 22%. Crypto investment scams accounted for $7.2 billion of that, with more than 61,000 complaints. Crypto losses among people aged 60 and over totaled $4.3 billion. Last year, the FBI’s “Operation Level Up” notified 3,780 potential victims and helped them avoid an estimated $226 million in further losses.
I think this crackdown is targeting not crypto itself, but telecom fraud compounds running “pig-butchering” scams. Crypto is simply the payment channel victims use; once the money is moved through fake trading platforms and digital wallets, recovering it becomes difficult. This doesn’t conflict with the Trump administration’s pro-business approach to crypto: one is about going after fraud, the other about promoting licensed markets.
But there’s also a real contradiction: in the same Reuters report, a Reuters investigation says the Trump family’s crypto businesses have brought the family at least $2.3 billion in wealth, while investors who followed suit lost $2.3 billion. As the administration cracks down on overseas scams, the media is also calling attention to conflicts of interest involving the family’s own crypto businesses. The White House response was that “everything is being done in the best interests of the American people.” Which side do you believe?
I think the impact on the industry is a double-edged sword. In the short term, the headlines are somewhat bearish: as enforcement ramps up, trading channels in gray areas will have to tighten up. In the long run, cleaning up scams is a good thing. After all, the GENIUS Act has just become law, and the OCC issued its first-ever final stablecoin rule last week. Both legislation and enforcement are moving toward bringing the industry into compliance.
Do you think this crackdown on scams is for real, or just for show?

🚨 The White House is cracking down on crypto scams, but your best defense is still yourself
According to Reuters, citing a White House official, Trump will highlight the government’s efforts to combat crypto scams targeting Americans at an event focused on cybercrime prevention.
The guest list is a big one: Secretary of Homeland Security Markwayne Mullin, FBI Director Kash Patel, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, and Attorney General Todd Blanche.
The figures behind this are sobering:
🔹 The FBI and the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Eastern District of New York just shut down 241 scam websites and seized 112 servers linked to a transnational network
🔹 FBI data shows that internet fraud complaints topped 1 million last year, up 17%
🔹 Crypto-related losses exceeded $11 billion in 2025
Of course, there are differing views in the comments. Some welcome stronger protections, while others question them in light of the Trump family’s own crypto ventures.
My take: Seizing servers and shutting down websites is damage control after the fact—scammers can just switch domains and start up again. A few tried-and-true rules are what can really protect your wallet:
Never touch platforms where strangers promise you “guaranteed profits”;
If you have to deposit money before you can withdraw, it’s almost certainly a scam;
Verify any links or “customer service” messages through official channels first.
Have you or someone you know ever encountered this “give you a taste, then reel you in” scam? Share your story in the comments to help warn others 👇

Let me start with a gut-wrenching question: That “investment adviser” who posts daily profits in your group chat and messages you out of the blue to teach you how to buy crypto—is that person a benefactor, or a salesperson from one of the 241 scam websites the FBI just shut down?
Brooklyn prosecutors teamed up with the FBI to shut down 241 fake investment websites and 112 servers. Behind them was a pig-butchering scam that had been running for three years, targeting Russian-speaking communities. The whole playbook was laid out like an assembly line: Russian-language ads on Facebook lured people in → fake “investment advisers” called and walked them through buying crypto and depositing funds → when they tried to withdraw, their accounts were locked, and they were hit with another “tax” charge. Some people lost their entire life savings.
The most outrageous part came next: a few weeks later, “fund recovery” services would approach the victims. The same person was fleeced once, then fleeced again.
So, be honest in the comments—pick one: A) You’ve been messaged by an “investment adviser”; B) You’ve actually sent money to a fake platform; C) You’re now panicking and deleting contacts. Who do you trust?

241 scam websites taken down at once—and this time, the FBI went after the servers
On October 14, the Brooklyn District Attorney’s Office and the FBI announced an operation: after three years of surveillance, they took down 241 websites and seized 112 servers in one fell swoop from an Eastern European scam ring. They preyed on Russian-speaking people in the U.S. and swindled them out of “tens of millions of dollars.” Only $300,000 was recovered, and no one was arrested.
The scams are familiar, but the second step is what makes them especially vicious:
① Russian-language Facebook ads draw you in, then a fake “investment adviser” walks you through buying crypto and depositing it on a fake platform;
② Want to withdraw your crypto? Your account gets frozen, or they tell you to pay “taxes” or an “unlocking fee”—and after you pay, there’s another charge;
③ A few weeks later, they call again: “We can help you recover the money you lost”—and scam you a second time.
The FBI’s figures: Americans lost $11.4 billion to crypto scams in 2025, up 22% year over year—and that only includes reported cases.
My take: If you have to “pay first to withdraw,” it’s a scam, no matter who says otherwise. When has a legitimate platform ever made you pay a tax upfront just to withdraw your crypto?

The FBI and Brooklyn prosecutors dismantle a crypto fraud network with 241 websites.
Federal prosecutors in Brooklyn and the FBI have dismantled a crypto fraud network accused of stealing tens of millions of dollars from Russian-speaking victims in the United States, seizing or disrupting 241 websites and 112 servers.
The operation, announced on October 14, 2026, targeted the network’s infrastructure directly, as replacement fraudulent websites kept appearing whenever individual pages were taken down. Investigators shifted their focus to the underlying servers to prevent the scheme from reorganizing.
The fraud primarily targeted Russian-speaking people in the United States, a pattern consistent with so-called “pig butchering” scams and affinity scams, which exploit a shared language and cultural trust to establish credibility before soliciting cryptocurrency investments.

Federal prosecutors in Brooklyn and the FBI have dismantled a crypto fraud network accused of stealing tens of millions of dollars from Russian-speaking victims in the United States, seizing or disrupting 241 websites and 112 servers.
