Binance hit by $6.3bn hack, largest cryptocurrency heist on record

Binance◼ suffered a reported $6.3bn cryptocurrency theft, described as the largest in crypto history. Two blockchain analytics firms attribute the incident to the North Korean hacking unit TraderTraitor▲, which is consistent with the group's prior activity against exchanges. Binance has pledged to cover all losses, and roughly $3bn in assets has been frozen by the exchange and its partners. The articles give no CVE, technical root cause or affected components, so defenders should watch for follow-up technical disclosures and for attacker wallet movements linked to TraderTraitor.
