Binance hack: “Reimbursement alone” is not enough, says Altcoin Pro co-founder

On October 29, 2026, hackers siphoned $6.3 billion from the world's largest crypto exchange Binance, marking what blockchain analysts call the largest digital asset heist in history and potentially the single largest known theft of any kind. Hackers stole $6.3 billion from Binance on October 29, with blockchain analytics firms attributing the attack to North Korean hackers linked to the Lazarus Group. Altcoin Pro founder Joni Zhuleku said the breach exposed serious weaknesses in exchange security, particularly in the systems responsible for approving transactions and preventing unauthorised transfers.
