Report Copyright Violation | Binance Hacked 7000 BTC from hotwallet Binance Security Breach Update We have discovered a large scale security breach today, May 7, 2019 at 17:15:24. Hackers were able to obtain a large number of user API keys, 2FA codes, and potentially other info. The hackers used a variety of techniques, including phishing, viruses and other attacks. We are still concluding all possible methods used. There may also be additional affected accounts that have not been identified yet.
The hackers were able to withdraw 7000 BTC in this one transaction: [link to www.blockchain.com (secure)]
The above transaction is the only affected transaction. It impacted our BTC hot wallet only (which contained about 2% of our total BTC holdings). All of our other wallets are secure and unharmed.
Binance will use the #SAFU fund to cover this incident in full. No user funds will be affected. [ link to binance.zendesk.com (secure)] Last Edited by syncro on 05/07/2019 09:07 PM |
