Hackers stole approximately $6.3 billion from the world's largest cryptocurrency exchange, Binance, in a rapid and complex attack that halted withdrawals and sparked an urgent race to freeze the stolen funds.
Summary
The heist, described as the largest ever recorded, was attributed by some firms to the North Korean state hacker group TraderTraitor, though Binance cited the compromise of an engineer's laptop as a potential entry point.
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.
