Binance finds 'additional points of breach' in largest ever crypto heist

Binance discovered additional breach points in a $6.3 billion cryptocurrency heist, initially attributed to a compromised engineer's laptop but now confirmed as a 'complex attack' involving multiple entry points. TRM and Chainalysis attributed the attack to TraderTraitor, a North Korean hacking unit previously linked to the $1.5 billion Bybit breach. Binance reserved $6.34 billion in company funds to cover all user losses and expects to resume withdrawals within 45 hours; $3 billion in stolen assets have been frozen with blockchain partners.
