🚨 Record broken, and not in a good way: $6.3B Binance hack, the biggest crypto theft in history
The break-in was straight out of a horror movie: a compromised DevOps laptop and unauthorized withdrawals. Behind it: Lazarus (the North Koreans). The silver lining: $3B already frozen with partners and law enforcement, SAFU + company funds cover everything, and withdrawals are back in ~45–48 hours.
The market definitely felt the hit: $BTC -4% to $76.4K, its lowest since September, and $1.57B liquidated in futures over 24 hours. $BNB bled too (-5%). The day's dark gem: HYPE was up +9% against the trend while everything burned.
And yes, I know exactly where I'm posting this from: the victim's own Square. The irony doesn't get any more gothic 🖤
The most unsettling part: “user funds are safe” was the official announcement... and it's literally the phrase we heard before FTX. This time, $3B really is frozen, but déjà vu doesn't pay.
Did you freeze everything, or are you watching the outcome from the sidelines?
