Ansem is down 90% from ATHs (490m - 45m)
Where’d the airdrops that were promised go?
Where’d the buy back and burns go?
$24 is the amount of revenue your Ansem launchpad has made in 3 days
You made roughly $13m from it, even more from side wallets
When will there be a clear explanation

if this is true binance got some 'splainin to do.
one engineer should be able to affect $6B, compromised or not.
need answers.
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.

User funds are safe!
It does look like a hack on Binance. Appreciate the quick freeze from Tether (~$971m) and Circle (~$823m).
I don't manage Binance (.com) anymore, but as a shareholder, I expect all user funds will be fully covered.

seeing an extreme increase in the amount of cyber attacks very recently
be very careful. quadruple check all links and msgs. do not download anything. put product releases on hold to do internal audits etc
in general, shift your mindset to be 10x extra critical of everything
