Digitalwährungen: Milliardenschwerer Hackerangriff auf Kryptobörse Binance
Laut Experten ist es die bisher größte Hackerattacke auf eine Börse für Digitalwährungen. Der führende Marktplatz Binance setzte nach dem Diebstahl von 6,3 Milliarden Dollar Ein- und Auszahlungen aus.
A massive cyber attack on the leading cryptocurrency exchange Binance resulted in losses estimated at around $6.3 billion. Binance temporarily halted all deposits and withdrawals following the attack. The exchange assured its users on the social media platform X that their holdings were secure and that they would compensate for any losses.
Partners froze digital currency units valued at approximately $3 billion, it was reported. Experts attributed the attack to the North Korean hacker group TraderTraitor, according to analysis firm TRM Labs. The hackers moved most of the $6.36 billion within 20 minutes, making it the largest cryptocurrency exchange heist to date. Bybit suffered the second-largest attack in early 2025, with hackers stealing around $1.5 billion in cryptocurrency.
The attackers tried to evade detection by holding onto $2.4 billion in cryptocurrencies, which their handlers could not trace, according to TRM.
