Binance says a security breach affected an estimated $6.3 billion in digital assets after an attacker gained access to part of its operational infrastructure.
Summary
The exchange temporarily suspended deposits and withdrawals while it worked to contain the incident, freeze assets and trace the unauthorised transactions.
This is a brief wire summary, the full story (linked below) has the complete details.
KazaSec's take
Incidents like this rarely start with the headline event itself, they usually trace back to an exposed remote-access endpoint, an unpatched perimeter system, or a credential phished weeks earlier. The organizations that recover fastest are the ones that tested their defenses and their incident response plan before they needed them.
