What happened
Binance is investigating an estimated $6.3 billion crypto theft that it suspects began with a compromised DevOps engineer's laptop, which may have been used to access internal infrastructure and enable unauthorised withdrawals. Nearly $3 billion has been frozen while investigators examine the attack path. Researchers have attributed the incident to North Korean hackers, though the articles give no CVEs, technical indicators or specific attack vector. The articles do not describe remediation steps beyond the investigation.
