Binance points to a compromised DevOps laptop letting an attacker submit withdrawals via internal infra, with no private key leak claimed, and TRM Labs and Chainalysis attribute it with high confidence to North Korea's TraderTraitor/Lazarus, still unconfirmed by governments.

Posts on Oct 30 describe a reported $6.3B Binance hot wallet breach, with $5.6-6.36B drained in about 20 minutes across 9-10 chains on Oct 29 nordin_eth post, AdriansCryptoo post. Binance points to a compromised DevOps laptop letting an attacker submit withdrawals via internal infra, with no private key leak claimed, and TRM Labs and Chainalysis attribute it with high confidence to North Korea's TraderTraitor/Lazarus, still unconfirmed by governments.

Stolen assets named include BTC (about 18,270 BTC, ~$1.44B), ETH (466k ETH), USDT, USDC, TRX, RLUSD, WBET, XAUT plus altcoins. About $2.8-3B was frozen, including $1.57B USDT by Tether and $800-823M USDC by Circle, with Ripple, WLFI, Paxos and Arbitrum also acting.

The hacker swapped alts for ETH: 7.02M UNI ($39.63M), 217.5M ENA ($33.93M), 7.77T PEPE ($31.66M), 2.57M LINK ($26.05M), 127,953 AAVE ($14.27M), 21.85M ONDO ($6.62M), 17.32M WLD ($6.09M), totaling 70,480 ETH (~$158.25M).

Market impact: BTC fell below $79k, then $77k, now about $77,012 on Binance spot, down 4.75% in 24h. Reports cite ~$600M-$1.5B in longs liquidated and ~$80B wiped from crypto in 15 minutes. Binance says deposits work, withdrawals paused ~45-48h, and losses covered by SAFU (~$1.2B) plus company funds.

The sources do not name a confirmed hacker wallet for BTC movements to track further.
