Appreciate the quick freeze from Tether (~$971m) and Circle (~$823m). I don’t manage Binance (.com) anymore, but as a shareholder, I expect all user funds will be fully covered.”
At time of publishing, it appears more than $5 billion in crypto on three blockchains has been drained.
Data from Etherscan shows the first Ethereum transaction sent 167,464 ETH plus 63 token transfers to a new address.
The total stands at around $3.51 billion on Ethereum, $1.44 billion in Bitcoin and $630 million on Tron.
Binance itself says it is still investigating.
“Our teams are aware of reports of a potential security issue and are actively investigating.
At this stage, we have not confirmed any impact to user funds.
Our security teams are reviewing all relevant information with urgency, and we will provide updates through official Binance channels as soon as we have verified information.
Users should remain cautious of scams and should not trust unofficial links, messages, or requests for account information.”
