Binance says initial investigation suggests security incident involved a compromised DevOps engineer’s laptop that allowed unauthorized withdrawal transactions, with no evidence of wallet private key leak; estimated impact around $6.3B, about $3B frozen on-chain so far, losses to be covered by SAFU fund and company funds, user funds safe, deposits and withdrawals temporarily suspended.
Binance's initial investigation suggests that the security incident may involve a compromised DevOps engineer’s laptop, which allowed an attacker to gain access to a service container and submit unauthorized withdrawal transactions. We have found no evidence of any wallet private key leak. We will share a detailed technical post-mortem once the investigation is complete and the facts are fully verified.
The estimated total impact sits at around $6.3B. We have worked with blockchain partners to freeze affected assets, with ~$3 billion frozen on-chain so far.
Binance will cover all losses from the SAFU fund and the company’s funds. User funds are safe. We will also publish an updated Proof of Reserves once the remediation is complete.
As an immediate precaution, Binance has:
- temporarily suspended deposits and withdrawals while security checks are completed;
- revoked the affected address authorisation;
- engaged law enforcement and blockchain intelligence partners to trace and recover funds.
Our teams are working around the clock to resolve this issue safely and thoroughly. We are working closely with our law enforcement partners to confirm the identity of these criminals and bring them to justice.
Please rely only on official Binance channels for updates. Please feel free to contact Binance Customer Support if you have any further questions.

FN Intel: An analysis on the recent activities of CENTCOM CDR ADM Brad Cooper, and wider implications for the U.S.-Iran War:
Cooper flew out of MacDill on a C-17 on the 22nd, landing at Al Bateen, UAE. He left on the 26th and went to Washington, not back to MacDill. The trip wasn't public until the 25th when CENTCOM released photos of him in a CH-47 over the Strait of Hormuz with Maj. Gen. Brandon Tegtmeier, the 82nd Airborne Division commander. Officially, it was about mine clearance and shipping, but another way to see it as a last look at the AOR to make sure CENTCOM can execute if ordered.
Today, the WSJ reported that Cooper briefed Trump in person at the White House on Iran’s military options, along with @secwar Hegseth & Chairmain of the Joint Chiefs Caine.
That's rare. He did it on 26 Feb, and the war started two days later. To be fair, he also briefed this group in April, but that didn't lead to strikes.
Other indicators of a continuation of hostilities in CENTCOM:
- Sen. Chris Murphy says some senators have been briefed on the war plan and called it "insane." No details, but it confirms a plan exists and has gone to Congress.
- Gulf states have reportedly been told to prepare for a short, intense campaign after the midterms.
- The US has ordered non-essential staff out of Saudi Arabia and cut staffing in Jordan, Lebanon, Qatar, and the UAE. Troop numbers at some bases have reportedly been quietly reduced.
- More AD is moving into CENTCOM, including a Patriot battery to Ovda, Israel.
-On 27 Oct, the FCDO updated its advice for 13 countries. It now says the region is "deeply unpredictable" (previously just "unpredictable") and that "the risk of sudden escalation is high." It also notes Iran has said it intends to target businesses and organisations linked to the US and Israel.
The U.S. is now at a 3rd fork in the road, and POTUS either has to, or already has decided which direction to take.
