Binance Reports $6.3 Billion Crypto Theft in Record-Breaking Hack

Binance says hackers stole about $6.3 billion from wallets across 10 blockchains in an attack that lasted roughly 20 minutes. The exchange said customer deposits were not affected and withdrawals were temporarily suspended. It added that partners had helped trace or freeze about $3 billion in assets, while Binance pledged to cover customer losses. Blockchain security firms reportedly linked the breach to TraderTraitor, a hacking group associated with North Korea. If confirmed, it would be the largest cryptocurrency theft on record.
