Binance's initial investigation suggests that the security incident may involve a compromised DevOps engineer’s laptop, which allowed an attacker to gain access to a service container and submit unauthorized withdrawal transactions. We have found no evidence of any wallet private key leak. We will share a detailed technical post-mortem once the investigation is complete and the facts are fully verified. The estimated total impact sits at around $6.3B. We have worked with blockchain partners to freeze affected assets, with ~$3 billion frozen on-chain so far. Binance will cover all losses from the SAFU fund and the company’s funds. User funds are safe. We will also publish an updated Proof of Reserves once the remediation is complete. As an immediate precaution, Binance has: - temporarily suspended deposits and withdrawals while security checks are completed; - revoked the affected address authorisation; - engaged law enforcement and blockchain intelligence partners to trace and recover funds. Our teams are working around the clock to resolve this issue safely and thoroughly. We are working closely with our law enforcement partners to confirm the identity of these criminals and bring them to justice. Please rely only on official Binance channels for updates. Please feel free to contact Binance Customer Support if you have any further questions. binance.com/en/support/annou…

Following the Coldcard vulnerability disclosure, we're already seeing an increase in phishing attempts. Stay alert for scams ⚠️ • Never share your wallet backup, aka recovery seed (12/20/24 words) • Only enter your wallet backup directly on your Trezor device during recovery • Trezor will never contact you asking for your wallet backup • Never follow wallet-migration instructions from unsolicited emails, messages or phone calls Trezor devices are not affected by the Coldcard incident.

We have some difficult news to share. Unfortunately, one of our shipping providers has experienced a data breach that exposed sensitive order data. This affects new customers in the US, UK, Sweden, Colombia, Brazil, Italy, and Portugal who received an order within the 90 days prior to August 8th, 2026. The data exposed: - Full names - Shipping addresses - Phone numbers - Email addresses The incident affects 11,742 customers with full exposure (name, email, phone number, shipping address) and 1,947 customers with partial exposure (name, city, email). The breach is limited due to Trezor’s strict 90-day data storage policy (we were also able to negotiate the same terms with fulfillment partners, who follow the same policy). All affected customers have been contacted separately by email. Our systems and devices remain secure, but affected customers could experience an increase in phishing attempts. NEVER enter your wallet backup on a website or share it with anyone, and only check for updates on official Trezor channels. We are deeply sorry to the community and those affected. We are investigating this situation and will post updates on our blog: trezor.io/blog/news/recent-c…

A Stanford statistician built a dice-rolling machine to prove board game companies have been selling you loaded dice for a hundred years. The machine drops dice inside a glass chamber, records every landing, and runs the sequences through statistical tests. Every mass-produced die it tested was biased. Every Monopoly die. Every Yahtzee cube. Every D&D twenty-sider. Every casino die below one hundred dollars. The bias is so small the human eye cannot see it in one game. It is so consistent it drains a player over a night at a real table. His name is Persi Diaconis. He is 79. He ran away from home at fourteen to learn card magic from Dai Vernon. He came back twenty years later with a PhD in statistics from Harvard and became the person casinos, magicians, and mathematicians all quietly consult when they need to know how something actually shuffles, rolls, or falls. This eight-minute Numberphile clip is Diaconis explaining exactly what the machine found. The dots on a die are drilled holes. The paint filling them weighs less than the plastic that was removed. The six face is lighter than the one face. Every die you have ever owned has been tilted by a fraction of a gram since the day it left the factory. Casinos already knew. A single die at the Bellagio costs one hundred and fifty dollars, is discarded after eight hours of use, and is engineered so the paint in the pits weighs exactly what the plastic did. That is the whole difference between a game piece and a regulated instrument. Here is what Diaconis proved on the record. A cheap six-sided die favors the six face over thousands of rolls. A plastic twenty-sided die can favor certain numbers by a substantial margin depending on how the corners are cut. A thirty-sided die, unless the internal geometry is spherical, rolls some faces two to three times more often than others. One retired executive rolled a single die three and a half million times before it physically wore round. Euclid worked out part of this in 300 BC. Diaconis has spent forty years finishing the rest. "There is no such thing as a fair die. There are only dice fair enough for the purpose you are using them for." Fairness is not a property of the die. It is a property of the die plus the throw plus the surface. Change any one and the same die stops being fair. The video is free. Diaconis's papers are free on his Stanford page. Everyone who has ever argued over a roll has been trusting a piece of plastic they never checked. The math is free. The willingness to admit your die is loaded is a much rarer commodity than fairness.
