Binance Hack: Everything You Need to Know About the Biggest Crypto Heist in History
币安被黑：关于史上最大加密盗窃案你需要知道的一切
Binance losing roughly $6.4 billion to North Korea-linked attackers makes this worth reading for the recovery tradeoff: who bears the loss, and what the exchange changes next.
Judgment
Binance’s leadership must decide whether to treat the roughly $6.4B loss as a balance-sheet hit or pass it to users through withdrawal limits, because that choice determines whether the exchange’s solvency story survives.
Basis
Decrypt Staff, edited by Guillermo Jimenez, report on Oct. 31, 2026 that attackers tied to North Korea stole roughly $6.4 billion from Binance on Thursday, describing it as the largest crypto heist in history. The source identifies Binance as the world’s largest crypto exchange and says the article covers how it happened, who is behind it and what comes next. In the provided excerpt, the only quantified figure is the ~$6.4B loss; no reserve drawdown, reimbursement rate, withdrawal limit, fee, or customer-fund guarantee appears, so the recovery mechanism is not specified.
Unclear The source does not name the attack vector, the affected wallets or chains, or whether Binance has guaranteed customer funds.
