Opsek founder says Binance attackers may have had access for weeks before the hack

Pablo Sabbatella's timeline suggests the record heist was a slow, methodical operation, not a smash-and-grab The biggest digital asset heist on record may have started long before anyone noticed. Opsek founder Pablo Sabbatella suspects the attackers behind the Binance breach were inside the exchange’s systems for weeks before they ever moved a coin. That matters because the theft itself was fast. If Sabbatella is right, the speed was the final act of a long, patient setup. On October 29, 2026, attackers drained approximately $6.3 billion worth of digital assets from Binance’s hot wallets.
