Binance Suffers "Largest Hack in History" With $6.3B Stolen

Binance said about $6.3 billion in digital assets was stolen from its exchange in what experts are calling the ‘largest crypto hack ever’. Binance said on Thursday, Oct. 29, that a hack compromised about $6.3 billion in digital assets on its exchange. The incident has been described as the largest hack in history, surpassing the $1.5 billion theft on Bybit in 2025. The exchange paused all deposits and withdrawals in response while it runs security checks. The exchange said in an early review that a DevOps engineer's laptop was compromised, which allowed the attacker to submit unauthorized withdrawal transactions.
