Binance, the world's largest cryptocurrency exchange, was reportedly hit on Thursday 29 October 2026 by a hack in which roughly $6.3 billion was stolen (about R$34 billion), which would make it the largest crypto hack on record (olhardigital.com.br, cybersecuritydive.com). The most recent report attributes the theft to a North Korea-linked group (cybersecuritydive.com). Blockchain analysis firms say they worked with Binance to freeze roughly half of the stolen funds, and the exchange said it would cover all losses (cybersecuritydive.com). Coverage is thin: the intrusion method, the group's name, affected assets and technical indicators have not been disclosed, and the figures are not independently corroborated beyond these two outlets. Treat the details as unconfirmed until Binance or investigators publish more.
Detalhes técnicos
- No attack vector, malware, vulnerabilities, CVEs or IOCs are given in the available excerpts (cybersecuritydive.com, olhardigital.com.br).
- The Olhar Digital article is paywalled, so its coverage of the attack vector, attribution, affected assets and Binance's response was not available. It quotes Micaella Ribeiro, co-founder of IAM Brasil, who says the case shows an important transformation in the digital threat landscape (olhardigital.com.br).
Remediação
- Binance said it will cover all losses, and about half of the stolen funds were reportedly frozen with the help of blockchain analysis firms (cybersecuritydive.com).
- No defensive guidance or indicators have been published yet. Defenders should watch for official disclosures from Binance and the analysis firms.
Relatos divergentes
- Attribution: cybersecuritydive.com (the later source, 30 October) attributes the theft to a North Korea-linked group, while olhardigital.com.br refers only to unnamed cybercriminals and its attribution details are paywalled. The two are not clearly contradictory, but the North Korea link rests on a single news report and is described as reported, not confirmed.
- Response: only cybersecuritydive.com mentions the fund freeze and the pledge to cover losses. olhardigital.com.br's coverage of Binance's response was not available.
