One of the Largest Crypto Thefts at Binance
October 31, 2026
In less than half an hour, hackers stole $6.3 billion from Binance, the world's largest cryptocurrency exchange. The attack happened rapidly, with the value of stolen assets growing dramatically. Authorities are working to trace the stolen funds, with evidence suggesting potential involvement of state-backed hackers from North Korea. The initial assumption of a breached computer has proven insufficient as the investigation continues. Essentially, this represents the largest theft in cryptocurrency history.
