About the Security Incident & Support
Largest Crypto Theft on Record
On October 29, 2026, attackers drained approximately $6.34 billion from Binance hot wallets across multiple blockchains, most of it within about 20 minutes starting around 20:05 UTC. This is the largest cryptocurrency heist in history, roughly four times the size of the 2025 Bybit incident.
Attack Timeline & Root Causes
The attack was a multi-stage operation spanning months. It involved social engineering (including fake job interviews), compromised engineer laptops, malicious software, and abuse of Ethereum’s EIP-7702 mechanism to hijack hot wallet logic. Initial investigations pointed to a compromised DevOps engineer’s laptop. No evidence of user private key leaks was found.
Attribution & Frozen Amounts
Blockchain analysis firms including TRM Labs and Chainalysis attributed the attack with high confidence to North Korea’s TraderTraitor group. Approximately $2.85–$3 billion has been frozen or intercepted through coordination with Tether, Circle, and other partners. Binance has committed to covering all losses via the SAFU fund and company reserves.
