[Binance: Security Incident May Involve DevOps Engineer's Laptop Hacking, Estimated Impact of Approximately $6.3 Billion] BlockBeats reported on October 30th that Binance released a security incident update stating that preliminary investigations indicate the incident may involve a DevOps engineer's laptop being hacked. The attacker used this access to the service container and submitted unauthorized withdrawal transactions. No evidence of wallet private key leakage has been found so far. The estimated total impact is approximately $6.3 billion. Binance has frozen related assets with its blockchain partners, with approximately $3 billion frozen on-chain. Binance will cover all losses with its SAFU fund and company funds. User funds are safe, and an updated reserve certificate will be released after the repair is completed.
As an immediate measure, Binance has temporarily suspended deposits and withdrawals to complete security checks, revoked authorizations for affected addresses, and is working with law enforcement and blockchain intelligence partners to track and recover funds. A full technical review will be released after the investigation is completed and the facts are verified. Please obtain the latest updates only through official channels.
