Binance has reported that an employee's laptop was hacked, allowing hackers to enter the system and withdraw some money.
However, so far, there has been no evidence that any wallet's private key was stolen. The entire matter is under investigation. Details will be announced once the investigation is complete.
The initial estimate of the loss is about $6.3 billion. Of this, about $3 billion in assets have already been frozen.
Binance said that they will cover all the losses incurred in this incident from their own funds. They also said that users' money is safe.
For security reasons, deposits and withdrawals have been suspended for the time being. The addresses used by the hackers have been revoked. Work is underway with law enforcement and other organizations to recover the stolen money.
The Binance team is working to resolve the issue. If any new information is found, it will be reported here on the channel.
