6 billion is crazy
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.

Horrible hack today at Binance, looks like ~$5.8B+ drained, ~$2.5B frozen.
Binance will survive thanks to their enormous size, & the freezes helping, but a smaller exchange would be toast.
Scary times.

We are aware of differing figures circulating publicly regarding the amount frozen, including references to $1.8 billion.
For clarity, the current verified total frozen is $2.54 billion. This figure may continue to increase as our teams work closely with law enforcement, issuers, blockchain intelligence firms and industry partners to trace and freeze additional assets.
We will only share confirmed figures and will provide further updates as more verified information becomes available.

US DOJ charges five people in a “ghost student” fraud scheme that used stolen American identities to enrol fake students in colleges and steal federal student aid.
The money was allegedly sent overseas through Kenyan-linked networks.
More than $750,000 (Sh97.5 million) in cryptocurrency has been seized, in what the DOJ calls the first international seizure of its kind in Kenya.

OPERATION GHOSTBUSTERS 👻🇺🇸
Kenyan nationals used stolen American identities to commit fraud by funneling federal student aid for their own personal gain and co-conspirators overseas.
Fraudsters like these are being crushed under @WHFraudTF and @TheJusticeDept leadership.
