Binance, hacking impact amount tallied at $6.34 billion (approximately 8.6034 trillion won)

Binance disclosed that roughly $6.34 billion in crypto assets were affected by a hot wallet incident that began at 5:05 a.m. KST on October 30, after attackers gained unauthorized access to an internal wallet signing service and executed transactions outside normal withdrawal procedures. The exchange said its initial investigation, published November 3, found no evidence that wallet private keys were compromised, and it pointed to fake job interviews, malicious developer tools, compromised employee devices and misuse of internal AI tools as part of the attack path. The scale of the affected amount makes the incident a test of custody and internal permission controls at the world's largest exchange by trading volume. What to watch next is whether Binance restores normal withdrawal processing and publishes a fuller breakdown of the $6.34 billion figure and any customer losses.
