Binance says compromised laptop was initial breach vector but probe finds more; ~$6.3B impact, losses covered
Binance's initial investigation found a compromised DevOps engineer's laptop was the likely breach vector behind its ~$6.3B incident, but a subsequent probe uncovered additional breach points in what it calls a "complex attack". Binance says no private key leaked, ~$3B frozen on-chain, and will cover all user losses from its SAFU fund and company funds, with withdrawals to resume within ~45 hours.
