Official statement #Binance on X:
Investigation update: The initial investigation
showed that the security incident may have been related to a
compromised laptop, but a subsequent investigation
revealed additional vulnerabilities. This was a sophisticated attack, and
we are doing everything we can, in coordination with
law enforcement, to resolve it. We
continue to gather facts and will share additional
information as it becomes available. Binance will cover all
losses using the SAFU fund and company funds. User
funds are safe. We remain on track to resume the
withdrawal service within 45 hours. Deposits remain
unaffected. The outflow stopped when we suspended the
withdrawal service earlier. We continue to work with
partners to freeze many of the affected assets, and have
so far frozen around $3 billion. We will continue to provide further updates through
Binance’s official channels as more
reliable information becomes available.
