#BTC $XRP Crypto’s $6.3 billion “oops”. Hackers allegedly pulled off the biggest crypto heist in history, draining Binance wallets across 10 blockchains in just 20 minutes. Blockchain sleuths point to North Korea, which apparently has a new favorite export.

Binance’s decided to pick up the tab? Roughly $3 billion has been located or frozen, with $3.3 billion still unaccounted for. Binance promises to cover all losses, while a compromised engineer’s laptop may have opened the door. Turns out, even crypto giants have IT problems.

Bitcoin sank over 3% and other crypto stocks also took a beating. Investors are questioning exchange security once again. Decentralized dreams, centralized headaches.
