The breach did not begin with a sophisticated front-door attack but instead exploited employees to form an attack chain that enabled unauthorized access. The incident raises questions about internal security at the world's largest crypto exchange by trading volume. Specific figures on stolen funds, token prices, and total value locked were not disclosed in the article. What to watch next: Binance's full post-mortem on how the signing service was reached and what credential and access controls it changes.
