Binance's $6.3B hack triggers global response with 100-person war room

infomoney.com.br (Portuguese) — October 31, 2026 at 04:01 PM UTC

A $6.3 billion hack of cryptocurrency exchange Binance, the largest in history, triggered a global emergency response involving about 100 staff, investigators, and blockchain firms to track stolen funds and freeze assets. The attackers drained over $6 billion from wallets across at least four blockchains on Thursday. Tether and Circle froze more than $2.3 billion in stablecoins. Blockchain intelligence firms attributed the attack to North Korean hackers, noting links to a previous theft. Binance has promised to reimburse affected users and boost security. The incident occurred as the crypto industry seeks greater mainstream financial acceptance, raising concerns it could undermine recent US government support for digital assets.
