🚨BINANCE HACK: $6.3B IMPACT, $3B FROZEN ON-CHAIN, LOSSES FULLY COVERED! Binance’s initial investigation suggests a compromised DevOps engineer’s laptop allowed an attacker to access a service container and submit unauthorized withdrawal transactions. No evidence of a wallet private key leak has been found. The estimated total impact is around $6.3B, with roughly $3B frozen on-chain so far. @binance says it will cover all losses from the SAFU fund and company funds, and that user funds are safe. Withdrawals remain paused while a security revamp is completed and are expected to resume within 48 hours. Deposits continue to operate normally.
