# The Binance hack, October 2026

Updated 2026-10-30 20:42:55 UTC. Source page: https://venkatapagadala.com/notebook/events/binance-hack-2026

On 29 October 2026 an attacker emptied Binance's hot wallets on ten blockchains in about four hours. Binance puts the impact at around $6.3 billion; three blockchain analytics firms count $6.36 billion to $6.43 billion, the largest crypto theft on record at the value when taken. About $3 billion has been frozen. Binance says it will cover every loss. The analytics firms blame North Korea's TraderTraitor group; Binance and the US government have not confirmed who did it.

## Key takeaways

- **Binance's own estimate:** around $6.3B
  - "The estimated total impact sits at around $6.3B." (Binance https://www.binance.com/en/support/announcement/detail/c5a8729a97ac486d963784d96c5642d7)
- **Counted on-chain:** $6.36B to $6.43B (Valued at each asset's price at the moment it was taken.)
  - "Valuing each transfer at the price of the asset at the moment it was taken, the total is approximately USD 6.36 billion." (TRM Labs https://www.trmlabs.com/resources/blog/north-korea-steals-usd-6-36-billion-from-binance-in-the-largest-hack-in-history)

- **Still with the attacker, beyond any freeze:** about $2.4B to $3.3B (TRM values it at the time of theft; Elliptic at current prices.)
  - "It now holds more than 420,000 ETH and 18,270 BTC, about USD 2.4 billion in assets beyond any issuer's reach." (TRM Labs https://www.trmlabs.com/resources/blog/north-korea-steals-usd-6-36-billion-from-binance-in-the-largest-hack-in-history)
  - "At current prices, the attacker now controls around $3.28 billion of assets that cannot be frozen by an issuer, spread across around 72 addresses." (Elliptic https://www.elliptic.co/insights/binance-largest-hack-in-history/)
- **How it happened:** A compromised engineer's laptop, then "additional points of breach" (No technical post-mortem yet.)
  - "Binance's initial investigation suggests that the security incident may involve a compromised DevOps engineer’s laptop, which allowed an attacker to gain access to a service container and submit unauthorized withdrawal transactions." (Binance https://www.binance.com/en/support/announcement/detail/c5a8729a97ac486d963784d96c5642d7)

  - "On Ethereum, the attacker used an EIP-7702 delegation to turn a Binance hot wallet into a sweeper it controlled, with 50 pre-signed authorizations prepared in advance." (TRM Labs https://www.trmlabs.com/resources/blog/north-korea-steals-usd-6-36-billion-from-binance-in-the-largest-hack-in-history)

  - "Binance will cover all losses from the SAFU fund and the company’s funds." (Binance https://www.binance.com/en/support/announcement/detail/c5a8729a97ac486d963784d96c5642d7)
  - "It has said it will cover all losses using its SAFU fund and company funds, and that it has reserved more than $6.34 billion of company funds to do so." (Elliptic https://www.elliptic.co/insights/binance-largest-hack-in-history/)
- **Withdrawals and deposits:** Withdrawals paused; deposits working
  - "We are still on track towards the expected timeline to resume the withdrawal service in 45 hours. Deposits remain unaffected." (Binance https://x.com/binance/status/2116089661408108712)
- **Is it the biggest ever?:** Yes, at the value when taken: about 4x Bybit (Valued at today's prices, older Bitcoin thefts such as LuBian (2020) are larger.)
  - "That makes this the largest crypto theft on record, about four times the USD 1.5 billion Bybit hack of February 2025." (TRM Labs https://www.trmlabs.com/resources/blog/north-korea-steals-usd-6-36-billion-from-binance-in-the-largest-hack-in-history)

## Is it true? Claims people are making

| Claim | Verdict | Why | Items making it |
|---|---|---|---|
| North Korea did it | Unconfirmed | Three analytics firms say so, TRM with high confidence. No government has said so yet. | 93 |
| The biggest crypto hack ever | True | True at the value when taken, about four times Bybit. Older Bitcoin thefts are bigger at today's prices. | 62 |
| It was done in 20 minutes | True | The main transfers ran from 20:05 to 20:24 UTC; smaller sweeps went on until 23:56. | 20 |
| $6.3 billion is gone | Misleading | $6.3 billion was taken, but about $3 billion is frozen and Binance says it covers every customer loss. | 7 |
| Binance halted trading | False | Binance paused withdrawals only; deposits kept working. Its statements never mention halting trading. | 3 |
| One engineer's laptop let the hacker in | Misleading | Binance first pointed to a laptop, then said it found additional points of breach; its CEO said it was not a one-click attack. | 2 |
| Cold wallets were hacked | False | The thefts came from hot wallets, the ones kept online to pay withdrawals. | 1 |
| Binance confirmed North Korea did it | False | Binance's CEO said its investigation has not attributed responsibility to anyone. | 0 |
| Customers lost their money | Unconfirmed | Binance says it covers every loss from its emergency fund and company money; its Proof of Reserves will show whether it can. | 0 |
| Binance's private keys were stolen | Unconfirmed | Binance says it found no evidence of a key leak; the analytics firms say the attacker got Binance's own signing to approve the transfers. | 0 |

## What happens next

- **Withdrawals reopen** (expected 2026-11-01): Binance said 45 hours from 08:47 UTC on 30 October. "Binance aims to restore withdrawals by Sunday and publish a full proof of reserves by Monday, as the attacker keeps moving funds on Tron." (https://decrypt.co/382237/binance-sets-aside-6-34b-to-cover-hack-losses-ceo-says-your-assets-are-safe)
- **Proof of Reserves report** (expected 2026-11-02): Shows whether Binance holds every customer's assets after the theft. "It plans to publish a full proof of reserves report by Monday, with an initial view before then." (https://decrypt.co/382237/binance-sets-aside-6-34b-to-cover-hack-losses-ceo-says-your-assets-are-safe)
- **Technical post-mortem**: Binance's own account of how the attacker got in. "We will share a detailed technical post-mortem once the investigation is complete and the facts are fully verified." (https://www.binance.com/en/support/announcement/detail/c5a8729a97ac486d963784d96c5642d7)
- **An official attribution**: So far only private firms name North Korea. "The FBI is aware of the incident and is engaged with relevant public and private partners to understand the scope of the activity, evaluate potential impacts and coordinate appropriate investigative steps" (https://www.nextgov.com/cybersecurity/2026/10/fbi-involved-response-63-billion-binance-hack-linked-north-korea/416946/)
- **The unfrozen $2.4B to $3.3B**: Whether the attacker can cash out the assets no issuer can freeze. "The attacker is swapping the rest into ETH and other assets that cannot be frozen, and has begun moving funds between blockchains." (https://www.elliptic.co/insights/binance-largest-hack-in-history/)
