 Hackers steal $6.3 billion from Binance in record Crypto Heist


Hackers have stolen $6.3 billion from Binance, the world’s largest cryptocurrency exchange, in the biggest crypto heist in human history.


“This was a complex attack, and we are doing all we can in coordination with law enforcement to resolve it,” Binance said in a post about the breach, which has shaken the cryptocurrency market.


The cryptocurrency exchange said on Friday that deposits were unaffected and that it was working with partners to freeze some of the affected assets, with about $3 billion located so far.


Withdrawals have been suspended for the next day. Binance did not mention the status of the remaining $3.3 billion, but said it will cover all losses.

TRM Labs, a US-based blockchain intelligence firm, pinned the attack on TraderTraitor, which it described as North Korea’s elite hacking unit.


“We make this judgment with high confidence,” the firm said, noting that “several features of this attack match earlier North Korea-linked heists.”
