The hacker behind the Binance bridge exploit has moved $4 million of stolen funds into three Binance deposit addresses, according to Crypto Briefing. The routing of funds directly back to the exchange underscores ongoing vulnerabilities in exchange security and the difficulty of tracing stolen crypto once it enters mixing or deposit flows. The move is likely to intensify regulatory scrutiny of Binance and test the platform's ability to freeze or flag suspicious deposits. Market participants should watch whether Binance freezes the associated accounts, any on-chain movement of the remaining stolen funds, and follow-up disclosures from the exchange or security researchers.
