Bitcoin News: Binance Says Compromised Engineer Laptop May Be Behind $6.3 Billion Hack
Binance's initial investigation points to a compromised DevOps engineer's laptop as the likely entry point for an attacker who gained access to a service container and submitted unauthorized withdrawals. No evidence of leaked wallet private keys has been found. Roughly $3 billion has been frozen, and Binance says it will cover all losses. The breach raises serious questions about how a compromised laptop could authorize billions in withdrawals without triggering security controls.
