Binance — Important Security Update and Fund Protection Notice

What happened

On October 29-30, 2026 (UTC), foreign media reported and Binance officially announced a major security incident involving unauthorized asset transfers estimated at $6.3 billion, caused by a compromise of the DevOps engineer's laptop. In response, Binance suspended all deposits and withdrawals, though deposit services have since been restored after being confirmed unaffected. Binance is conducting security checks on withdrawal services and expects to resume them within 48 hours from the announcement. A technical post-mortem report and updated Proof of Reserves will be released once all security measures are fully completed.

What to check if you used this exchange

• Verify that Binance officially pledged to cover 100% of user losses using its SAFU fund and corporate capital.
• Check announcements from domestic and foreign exchanges before transferring digital assets, as cascading restrictions or delays may occur.
• Maintain account security and remain vigilant against phishing messages or third-party scams asking for fee payments or asset transfers.
• Rely solely on Binance official support channels for verified updates regarding this incident.

Verify everything in the exchange's own announcements. The source links below are the starting point.

This exchange in our data

The following is not borrowed reporting — these are values AntProfit collects and measures directly (as of 17:00 on 30 Oct KST).

• USDT spot markets we track on this exchange: 517
• Combined 24h turnover of those markets: $11B
• Measured fill cost (buying 0G): a $100 order slips 0% · a $100,000 order 4.579% — large orders fill worse than the quote

Normal-looking numbers do not mean safety — regulatory and withdrawal problems show up in prices and books only later.
