What happened
TRM Labs attributes the 29 October 2026 drain of roughly $6.36 billion from Binance wallets across ten blockchains to the North Korean group TraderTraitor. TRM Labs calls it the largest crypto theft on record, about four times the $1.5 billion Bybit incident of February 2025. The excerpt gives no CVE identifiers, initial access method or indicators of compromise, so defenders have no technical detail to act on beyond awareness of the attribution and the multi-chain scale.

What to do
- If you have an account with the company, change that password, and anywhere you used the same one.
- Turn on two-step sign-in where you can.
- Expect scam emails and texts that mention the breach: contact the company yourself, not through links.
