Binance’s initial investigation indicates that a DevOps engineer’s laptop was hacked, allowing the attackers to gain access to a service container and make unauthorized withdrawals. Note: The wallets’ private keys were not leaked.
The estimated impact is $6.3 billion, but around $3 billion has already been frozen on-chain with the help of blockchain partners. Most importantly, users’ funds are completely safe. Binance will cover all losses using the SAFU fund and company funds.
What’s being done right now?
Deposits and withdrawals have been temporarily paused as a precaution.
All access has been revoked from the affected address.
The police and blockchain intelligence experts have been brought in to track the funds and catch those responsible.
Once everything is under control, a detailed technical report (post-mortem) and an updated Proof of Reserves will be released.
For updates, trust only official channels and contact Support if you have any questions.
