In late October 2026, hackers pulled off the largest crypto heist in history, stealing between $6.3 billion and $6.6 billion from Binance in a matter of minutes.

To put a loss of that scale into perspective:

Massive Scale: It shatters the previous record—the $1.5 billion Bybit attack—by more than four times over.

Quick Action Saved Billions: Blockchain security teams and token issuers moved fast, freezing roughly $2.7 billion to $3 billion of the stolen funds before the hackers could move them.

The Culprit: Authorities and security firms have linked the attack to TraderTraitor, an elite state-sponsored hacking group from North Korea.

User Impact: Despite the staggering total, Binance confirmed that user funds remain protected and has committed to covering the losses.
