Taking new deposits into account, the net outflow of funds amounted to $3.64 billion. The mass withdrawal of assets began after the exchange\u2019s hot wallets were hacked, resulting in the theft of cryptocurrencies worth approximately $6.3 billion.<\/p>\n<div class=\"news-summary-box\"><strong>Briefly about the main points<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Binance users withdrew $4.65 billion in nine and a half hours.<\/li>\n<li>Taking deposits into account, the net outflow from the exchange amounted to $3.64 billion.<\/li>\n<li>A mass withdrawal of funds began following a cyberattack on $6.3 billion.<\/li>\n<li>The FBI has linked the Binance hack to the North Korean hacking group TraderTraitor.<\/li>\n<li>The exchange has stated that it has covered the 95% in stolen assets using its own reserves.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<h2>Billions of dollars were withdrawn immediately after access to the funds was granted<\/h2>\n<p><strong>Binance<\/strong> began to gradually resume cryptocurrency withdrawals on 1 November at 06:00 Coordinated Universal Time (UTC).<\/p>\n<p>According to official stock exchange figures, by 15:30 on the same day <strong>Users carried out transactions involving the withdrawal of assets totalling $4,649 billion<\/strong>. At the same time, the platform received $1.01 billion in new deposits.<\/p>\n<p>Thus, the net outflow of funds over nine and a half hours amounted to approximately <strong>$3.64 billion<\/strong>. This represents approximately 2.1% of Binance\u2019s total assets, which stood at $171 billion as at 28 October.<\/p>\n<p>Exchange representatives reported that the highest number of withdrawal requests occurred in the first few hours after trading resumed. Subsequently, user activity began to decline, whilst the volume of new deposits remained significant.<\/p>\n<p>By 12:36 UTC on 1 November, Binance had resumed withdrawals across all 15 networks and asset groups included in the first phase. These include Bitcoin, Ethereum, BNB, Solana, XRP and major stablecoins.<\/p>\n<p>The remaining networks and tokens are being restored gradually following further security checks.<\/p>\n<h2>The biggest crypto exchange hack: how Binance lost $6.3 billion<\/h2>\n<p>Large-scale <a href=\"https:\/\/ukrmedia.news\/en\/economics\/zlam-binance-6-3-miliarda-dolariv\/\">cyberattack on Binance<\/a> It took place on 29 October. The attackers gained unauthorised access to the platform\u2019s hot cryptocurrency wallets and withdrew assets totalling approximately $6.3 billion.<\/p>\n<p>According to the preliminary findings of an internal investigation, one possible point of entry may have been a breach of the laptop belonging to a DevOps engineer who had access to the company\u2019s corporate infrastructure.<\/p>\n<p>After detecting the attack, Binance suspended cryptocurrency withdrawals, began an audit of its security systems and enlisted the help of law enforcement agencies and blockchain analytics firms to track down the stolen assets.<\/p>\n<p>On 31 October, the US Federal Bureau of Investigation stated that the attack was carried out by TraderTraitor, a hacking group linked to North Korea.<\/p>\n<p>According to the FBI, the criminals have begun converting the stolen assets primarily into Ethereum. US law enforcement agencies are anticipating further attempts to launder funds via decentralised financial services and cryptocurrency exchange platforms.<\/p>\n<h2>Binance has announced that it will cover the 95% of stolen assets<\/h2>\n<p>Following the attack, Binance\u2019s management promised to compensate users for their losses using the company\u2019s own resources, the SAFU reserve fund and other financial mechanisms.<\/p>\n<p>As at 1 November, the stock exchange <a href=\"https:\/\/ukrmedia.news\/en\/economics\/binance-zlam-6-3-mlrd-95-vidsotkiv-vidnovlennia\/\">said.<\/a>, which has already covered approximately 95% of the total value of the stolen assets. The company plans to compensate for the remainder once it has acquired less liquid cryptocurrencies, the availability of which on the market is limited. This specifically refers to the restoration of client balances, rather than the return of the 95% stolen by the hackers.<\/p>\n<p>Binance has also announced that it is preparing an updated Proof of Reserves report, which is intended to show the state of the exchange\u2019s reserves following the cyberattack.<\/p>\n<p>The previous snapshot of reserves was taken on 31 October. The exchange had planned to publish the results of the audit on 2 November, once the cryptographic calculations had been completed.<\/p>\n<p>Despite the significant volume of withdrawals, Binance states that the situation is stabilising and that the company is continuing to restore its services to full operation.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u041a\u043e\u0440\u0438\u0441\u0442\u0443\u0432\u0430\u0447\u0456
