Binance — Service Updates and Security Action Items

What happened

On October 29, 2026 (UTC), Binance detected an unauthorized hot wallet withdrawal of approximately $6.3 billion, which was announced alongside an immediate pause on deposits and withdrawals. On October 30, 2026, Binance confirmed via an official announcement that all affected user funds will be 100% compensated using the SAFU fund and corporate capital, while the FBI officially identified the North Korea-linked group 'TraderTraitor' as the party behind the attack on October 31, 2026. Phased withdrawals (Phase 1) resumed between 06:00 and 09:00 (UTC) on November 1, 2026, for major assets including BTC, ETH, BNB, SOL, XRP, DOGE, Arbitrum, and Base, with deposits continuing to operate normally. Remaining networks will be restored sequentially upon security checks, and an updated Proof of Reserves disclosure is scheduled for publication on November 2, 2026.

What to check if you used this exchange

• Check the asset withdrawal page on the platform to verify whether withdrawal functionality for your specific token or network is currently active.
• Rely exclusively on official announcement channels and never share private keys, passwords, or OTP codes, as phishing and scam attempts impersonating customer support may increase.
• Review and strengthen your account security by proactively resetting your two-factor authentication (2FA), password, and API keys.

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