🚨 Binance Reveals How Hackers Stole $6.3 BILLION in Crypto!
@binance has uncovered a sophisticated, multi-stage attack behind the October 29 security breach.
According to its investigation, the attackers used fake recruitment interviews and malicious software to compromise an engineer's work computer.
The attack escalated through an internal AI tool, eventually exposing wallet infrastructure.
The final execution was devastating:
🔹 5 hot wallets compromised
🔹 233.46M $XRP transferred in just 4 minutes
🔹 $BTC, $SOL, and $OP wallets also affected
🔹 Approximately $2.85B in assets frozen or intercepted
Binance says it has rebuilt affected systems, replaced compromised devices, revoked credentials, and strengthened security controls.
An independent cybersecurity review and expanded AI security investment are also planned.
The biggest takeaway? Crypto security is no longer just about protecting private keys. It's about securing every layer of the infrastructure behind them.
Even the most sophisticated systems are only as strong as their weakest entry point.
