DDGSB/Çıtak warned: The Binance incident is a warning, cyber attacks hit real life

Taner Çıtak, head of the Digital Transformation and Cybersecurity Association (DDSGB), said the attack on global crypto platform Binance and the $6.3 billion in losses it caused should serve as a warning that cyberattacks now hit real life, not just finance and economics. He pointed to threats against banks, hospitals and public systems as evidence that digital security has become an operational risk across the economy. The remarks frame the Binance incident as a broader systemic signal rather than an isolated crypto exchange problem. What to watch next is whether regulators and institutions treat the episode as a prompt to harden defenses across banking, healthcare and government infrastructure.
