Binance Hack Totaling $6.3 Billion: Compromised Laptop and 48-Hour Withdrawal Suspension

Share

Binance estimates that the hack resulted in $6.3 billion in stolen funds, while TRM Labs puts the figure at $6.36 billion, four times the previous Bybit record. The platform suspects the compromised laptop of a DevOps engineer, but the root cause has not yet been established and no evidence of a private-key leak has been found.

Binance suspended withdrawals for 48 hours to rebuild its service, deposits continue, and the platform has committed to covering all losses.
