🚨 BINANCE SUFFERS US$ 6,3 BILLION ATTACK: THE BIGGEST HEIST IN THE HISTORY OF THE CRYPTO SECTOR
Binance confirmed an attack that compromised its hot wallets and resulted in approximately US$ 6,3 billion in unauthorized asset outflows. Most of the attack took place within about 20 minutes.
⚠️ What we know so far: • Approximately US$ 3 billion in assets have already been frozen. • Withdrawals were temporarily suspended during the security review. • Deposits remained operational. • Binance says it will fully cover the losses using funds from SAFU and the company itself.
🔎 WHO IS BEHIND IT?
Investigators have linked the attack to the TraderTraitor group, which is connected to North Korea. The attribution is still under investigation.
Binance says it has found no evidence of private key leaks. The investigation points to a compromise of the infrastructure and the withdrawal authorization process.
📊 The key issue goes beyond the financial losses: the incident highlights operational risks, the security of hot wallets, and trust in major exchanges.
The exchange promises to absorb the losses, but it will have to demonstrate in practice that its security controls can prevent further incidents.
Does this incident change how you feel about leaving assets on exchanges, or does your trust in Binance remain?
