Live updates: Binance $6.3B hack linked to North Korea’s TraderTraitor

Follow live updates as Binance says $6.3 billion in assets have been stolen in a major hack. Around $3 billion in stolen funds have been frozen. The attacker behind Binance’s $6.3 billion hack did not simply use one engineer’s permissions to carry out the breach, co-CEO Richard Teng said Friday. In an X post , Teng said the incident involved “a more complex attack process” and was not a single “one-click” action. Teng reiterated that preliminary findings pointed to a compromised DevOps engineer’s laptop, which may have allowed the attacker to access an internal service and submit unauthorized withdrawals.
