The largest cryptocurrency hack on record has renewed doubts about whether the industry can safeguard digital assets and join mainstream financial infrastructure. Binance, the world’s largest crypto exchange, suspended withdrawals after a security breach affected an estimated $6.3 billion in funds.
BBloomberg NewsOriginal★★★★☆2026-10-30 20:30
Hackers behind Binance’s $6.3 billion breach are using previously unseen laundering methods while quickly converting stolen assets into other cryptocurrencies. Chainalysis said on Oct. 30 that investigators found thousands of transactions within short periods, suggesting automation was used to hide the funds’ movement.
The record $6.3 billion hack of Binance has been blamed on alleged North Korean hackers, who are notorious for targeting the digital-asset industry.
Tether, Circle and other companies moved within hours to freeze billions of dollars in stolen crypto. Legal experts question whether smaller victims would receive the same protection.
Binance is targeting a return of withdrawals within 48 hours, while Bitcoin deposits remain available. The practical test will be whether customer transfers are completed and a separate reserve update is provided.
Hackers drained more than $6 billion from crypto exchange Binance in what was described as the largest cyber theft on record. US law enforcement has joined the search for those responsible.
An attack on Binance by North Korean hackers resulted in crypto theft on an unprecedented scale.
More than $6 billion in cryptocurrency was stolen from Binance, prompting a race to retrieve the funds before hackers linked to North Korea can launder them into cash.
Hackers reportedly stole $6.3 billion from Binance, completing most transfers within minutes. The theft ranks among the largest cryptocurrency heists on record.
Binance says it has secured about half of the $6.3bn in digital assets stolen in a complex hack believed to be the largest of its kind. Analytics firms have linked the attack to North Korean hackers, while the US Secret Service and FBI are helping trace and recover the funds.
Olga Goncharova of the Association of Banks of Russia said the roughly $6.3 billion taken from Binance exceeded crypto-market hacking losses over the prior two years, with most funds siphoned off in 20 minutes. She said it was too early to call the incident a critical security failure and suggested social engineering was more likely. Binance said attackers may have entered its internal infrastructure through an engineer’s compromised work laptop and plans to cover losses with its SAFU fund and corporate resources.
CEO Richard Teng said the intruders concealed traces of their activity and got past security safeguards. Binance aims to resume withdrawals Sunday and release its proof of reserves Monday.
Cryptocurrency exchange Binance was hit by a record $6.3 billion cyber heist, which blockchain intelligence firms linked to North Korea. By Thursday night in the US, major crypto platforms had coordinated to freeze roughly $3 billion in stolen assets as they raced to track and secure the funds.
The unprecedented $6.3 billion crypto theft unfolded on Thursday evening. Containing its fallout hinges on a commitment to fully compensate traders.
Binance says it has begun recovering assets for affected users and set aside more than $6.34 billion of company funds for the incident, including $5 billion in the exact tokens affected. The figures exclude frozen or protected assets still undergoing recovery and verification. Binance had earlier reported a hack, with some deposits and withdrawals suspended.
Analytics firms TRM Labs and Chainalysis say the North Korean group TraderTraitor, also known as Lazarus Group, may have stolen more than $6 billion from Binance. The group may have links to Russia. Binance says about half the funds are frozen and has pledged to reimburse customers, setting aside $6.34 billion and beginning to return assets. Experts call it the largest cryptocurrency theft in history.
Binance says it will cover billions of dollars in stolen assets after a record-setting cyberattack targeting the world’s largest cryptocurrency exchange shook the digital assets industry and revived fears about crypto.
Analysts at Cantor Fitzgerald, TD Cowen and Compass Point say the $6.3 billion hack of Binance is unlikely to derail the crypto market’s recovery, and urge investors to buy crypto stocks.
Hackers stole $6.3 billion in cryptocurrency from Binance in a record-breaking theft, leading issuers to freeze about half of the stolen assets. US analysts suspect North Korean hackers were responsible, and the breach has shaken confidence in the crypto market.
Binance suspended all withdrawals after a hack it estimates affected about $6.3 billion. The exchange said it had frozen around $3 billion in affected assets, mostly stablecoins. Elliptic analysts said the attacker converted about $3.3 billion into assets that cannot be frozen and was trying to cash them out as traditional currency.
Binance says it has set aside $6.34 billion to cover losses from the hack, while industry partners have frozen another $3 billion in affected assets.
Binance says $6.3 billion in crypto was stolen from its platform, with about $3 billion of the affected assets frozen so far. It has pledged to cover all losses, suspended deposits and withdrawals, and says investigators have found no evidence of a wallet private-key leak. Blockchain analysis firms attribute the attack to North Korean hacking group TraderTraitor.

Russian human rights ombudswoman Yana Lantratova proposed monthly humanitarian deliveries to Alyoshki in the Kherson Region, noting that some residents cannot leave for various reasons. A Russia-Ukraine ceasefire mediated by US First Lady Melania Trump enabled a humanitarian mission on October 30, when aid was distributed and residents wishing to leave could evacuate to either country.

Russian presidential envoy Kirill Dmitriev said Russia, the United States and Ukraine were coordinating on humanitarian efforts in Alyoshki, commenting on footage of a convoy setting out for residents. Russia’s human rights commissioner said buses, including one for bedridden people, and ambulances were ready, with residents able to leave by 2 p.m. Moscow time on Friday.
Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said Vladimir Putin is willing to maintain contacts with anyone seeking a peaceful settlement in Ukraine. He said Russian and Ukrainian ombudspersons are coordinating the Alyoshki humanitarian mission, which is delivering aid and allowing people who wish to leave to do so. European participation in Russia-US-Ukraine talks was not discussed, Peskov said; trilateral negotiations are scheduled for November.
The Russian Defense Ministry said Guards Sergeant Andrey Vedernikov was killed while clearing roads near Alyoshki in the Kherson Region for a humanitarian convoy. It said an explosive device deployed by a Ukrainian drone detonated as he worked.
Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said Russian rights commissioner Yana Lantratova and Ukrainian counterpart Dmitry Lubinets are actively coordinating, including on the humanitarian mission in Alyoshki. He said the priority is ensuring people receive the humanitarian aid they need.

A family with seven children left the town of Alyoshki in the Kherson Region as part of a humanitarian mission. Russian Human Rights Commissioner Yana Lantratova said the family would be guaranteed “full safety.”
Residents began leaving Russian-held Oleshky in a joint relief operation, with a convoy bringing food and medicine and evacuating people seeking to go to Russia or Ukraine. A localized ceasefire in Kherson region allowed roads to be cleared of mines. About 2,000 people remain in the city, and several hundred have chosen to stay.
Oleshky, occupied by Russia, lies only a few kilometres from Ukrainian-controlled Kherson, but proximity has not ensured life-saving help for civilians facing disrupted services and uncertain evacuation arrangements. A temporary ceasefire has opened a narrow window for humanitarian operations, while the agreement’s scope, evacuation prospects and prospects for sustained access remain unclear. About 2,000 civilians were reported to remain there.
Russian human rights ombudswoman Yana Lantratova said Alyoshki residents in the Kherson Region were allowed to leave for either Russia or Ukraine. A large convoy delivered humanitarian aid, and meals and buses were arranged for residents, including families with children and elderly people. Both ombudspersons’ offices are monitoring the situation.
Some residents left Oleshky in southern Ukraine on Friday during a rare US-brokered ceasefire, as the Russian-occupied town faces severe shortages of food and medicine. The truce is due to end Sunday evening. Ukrainian and Russian officials visited together to deliver aid and organize departures.
US First Lady Melania Trump said a humanitarian convoy is ready to evacuate more than 750 people who volunteer to leave Oleshky in the Kherson Region, using a safe passage agreed by Russian and Ukrainian leaders. The convoy includes 25 buses, 50 medical professionals and ambulances.
Russian human rights commissioner Yana Lantratova said the humanitarian mission in Oleshky is winding down, with evacuees boarding convoys headed to Russia and Ukraine. Russia and Ukraine agreed to halt fighting there for the mission, mediated by U.S. first lady Melania Trump; neither side has reported violations.
Starving and exhausted residents of Russian-occupied Oleshky in southern Ukraine were being evacuated on Friday, October 30, in a relief effort involving both sides. It was the first operation of its kind in four years and eight months of war.
A local truce is underway as residents depart Russian-occupied Oleshky. In the White House's account, Melania Trump, the US first lady, played a part in securing the pause and coordinating relief work.

Starving residents of a Russian-held town in southern Ukraine began evacuating Friday as part of a joint relief effort by opposing sides, the first operation of its kind in more than four years of war.
After years of Russian occupation, Oleshky’s civilians have a rare opportunity to receive humanitarian aid or leave town. Serious doubts remain over whether evacuees will be able to reach Ukrainian-controlled territory.

A humanitarian mission led by Ukrainian Ombudsman Dmytro Lubinets and Russian human rights commissioner Yana Lantratova has reached Oleshky in the occupied Kherson region. Russian and Ukrainian representatives said civilian evacuations began on October 30 and aid was being distributed. Journalists entered with the delegations as the sides paused fire for several days.
An aid convoy carrying food and medical supplies has entered Russian-held Oleshky in Ukraine’s Kherson region. Evacuations are under way during a six-day US-brokered local ceasefire, now in its third day, with 25 buses standing by.

Evacuations are under way from Russian-occupied Oleshky after a ceasefire brokered by US First Lady Melania Trump took effect in the Kherson frontline region on Tuesday, allowing the road to be cleared of mines. A convoy of 25 buses can carry up to 750 people during a four-hour window. Several hundred residents are understood to be staying despite shortages of gas, electricity and running water.
Officials from Russia and Ukraine say evacuations and humanitarian aid distribution have started in occupied Oleshky, in the Kherson region. Ukraine says 527 residents want to relocate to Ukraine; Russia has not provided a figure for those seeking to relocate to Russia. The countries halted hostilities for the humanitarian mission under a truce that began on October 27 and is due to last until late on November 1.
Officials from Russia and Ukraine entered the devastated city of Oleshky after a rare ceasefire.
Russian Presidential Aide Yury Ushakov said the humanitarian mission in Alyoshki, in the Kherson Region, was going more or less as planned. Russian forces established a ceasefire on the Kherson front on October 27 to enable the operation. Russia and Ukraine had earlier agreed to a ceasefire in Alyoshki for aid delivery and civilian evacuation through a designated safe corridor, with assistance from US First Lady Melania Trump.
Ukraine's human rights ombudsman said buses and ambulances were ready to evacuate residents from Russian-occupied Oleshky during a ceasefire. An evacuation volunteer accused Russia of starting the process early, and TASS footage appeared to show civilians being moved before the agreed Oct. 30 departure date.
Evacuation of stranded residents from Oleshky began Friday under a US-brokered ceasefire, officials from Russia and Ukraine said. Ukraine said 527 people would be taken to areas under Kyiv’s control, while Russia said an unspecified number would go to Russia. Humanitarian aid distribution also began.
The first humanitarian operation in years in Russian-occupied Oleshky offers civilians trapped by war a fragile glimmer of hope. It also raises serious concerns about Moscow’s intentions and the fate of people seeking evacuation to Ukrainian-controlled territory.
Ukrainian ombudsman Dmytro Lubinets and Russian human rights commissioner Yana Lantratova have traveled to occupied Oleshky in the Kherson region with humanitarian aid and plan to arrange the evacuation of residents who wish to leave.
