> Binance, the world’s largest cryptocurrency exchange, suspended withdrawals after hackers breached its digital wallets and stole $6 billion in what may be the biggest crypto heist ever. Binance said its initial investigation traced the attack to an engineer’s laptop, which enabled unauthorized withdrawals. A group of crypto firms froze about $3 billion of the stolen funds.
