Binance confirmed a $6.3 billion hack and said about $3 billion in stolen assets had been frozen. It pledged to cover all losses. Binance said investigators found additional breach points after initially suspecting a DevOps engineer’s compromised laptop. TRM Labs attributed the attack to North Korea’s TraderTraitor group.
Bitquery traced 18,270 Bitcoin, worth roughly $1.4 billion, to 19 addresses linked to the attackers. That was 199 BTC more than Coinbase reported holding for investment and operations as of Sept. 30; Coinbase’s figure excludes Bitcoin it holds for customers. Bitquery also traced 508,621 Ether to the attackers in the same snapshot.
