Binance Says Hacked Employee Computer Started a Broader Attack

Binance said Friday it has found no evidence that wallet private keys were exposed in the theft, while saying the intrusion began with a compromised employee computer. Customer-service representative sisi said on social media that the attack could not be completed through access to one device or one employee alone. The investigation has identified important leads, and Binance has activated risk controls and emergency response procedures, she said. Binance has frozen about $3 billion in affected assets on-chain and is working with law enforcement and blockchain intelligence groups to trace the funds, sisi said.
