Binance said in its initial finding a compromised DevOps engineer laptop was used to reach a service container and submit unauthorized withdrawals, with no wallet private key leak found so far.

Estimated impact is around $6.3B, with about $3B frozen onchain with partners. Tether CEO confirmed over $1.567B USDT frozen, trackers put Circle's USDC freeze around $823M.

Binance suspended deposits and withdrawals while it completes checks, says it revoked the affected address authorization and is working with law enforcement, and says it will cover all losses via SAFU and company funds.

BNB was about $712.77 on Binance spot, down about 4.4% in 24h. The early claim of ~$2.71B in one EOA, 195,469 ETH and 1,409 BTC leaving Binance was an early partial tally, the fuller outflow tally cited later was about $5.6B.
