【Late-Night Recap】Binance Robbed of $6.3 Billion: The Largest Crypto Hack in History
Binance confirmed today that it suffered an unprecedented security incident, with approximately $6.3 billion in assets stolen—the largest theft in crypto history—sending shockwaves through the market.
✅ Key takeaways:
• Attribution: The investigation points to North Korea’s Lazarus/TraderTraitor group. After compromising an engineer’s laptop, they transferred the funds in about 20 minutes.
• Technical details: $ETH partially exploited EIP-7702, which allows standard wallets to execute contract code. About $2.5 billion was drained from a single hot wallet in under four minutes.
• Damage control: About $3 billion has been frozen on-chain, with assistance from Tether and Circle. Binance suspended deposits and withdrawals and pledged to cover all losses.
• Market action: $BTC fell below the key $80,000 support level, reaching a low of $76,368—a six-week low. Liquidations across the market totaled $1.57 billion.
📊 After-hours thoughts: The $BTC held by the hackers now exceeds Coinbase’s corporate treasury. The next key support level is $75,000. Today, self-custody, hot and cold wallet segregation, and security audits of EIP-7702-style account abstraction have all been rewritten into the textbooks.
