Binance incident, day 4: what changed since my Oct 30 update.
Binance's own updates now say:
- 90% of the roughly 6.3B USD taken is replenished, up from 80% a day earlier.
- Over 6.34B USD in company funds is set aside. The SAFU transfer of 7,499 $BTC (about 581M USD) is done.
- The last 10% is low-liquidity tokens, bought through the market and OTC, so it takes longer.
- About 3B USD of the stolen funds is frozen with partners.
- BTC, ETH, USDT, BNB, SOL, USDC, XRP, USD1, RLUSD and ZEC are matched 1:1. The full Proof of Reserves is due around Nov 2 to 3.
The FBI has named North Korea's TraderTraitor group. Binance now says there were several breach points, not only the laptop first reported.
What I checked at 11:00 (UTC+7) today: deposits are open again, withdrawals are still off on the BTC, ETH, USDT, BNB, SOL and XRP networks. Binance says they restart in phases today.
Before withdrawals open:
- Turn on the withdrawal whitelist and review your API keys.
- Copy addresses from your own wallet, never from chats or DMs.
- Ignore "refund" or "recovery" messages. Support never asks for passwords or 2FA codes.
- Holders of low-liquidity tokens may wait longest.
$BNB trades near 703, 7.5% under the Oct 28 close of 759.85.
Which balance will you check first when withdrawals open: BTC, USDT or BNB?
