WARNING: Binance confirms a hack, deposits and withdrawals paused

WARNING: Binance just confirmed a hack, and deposits and withdrawals are paused.

@binance puts the estimated total impact at around $6.3B, with about $3B frozen onchain so far. It says the SAFU fund and company funds will cover all losses. Early signs point to a compromised DevOps engineer's laptop, with no evidence of a private key leak.

If you top up your crypto card from Binance, that route is shut until withdrawals reopen, so keep a second funding source ready. @ether_fi says it has no direct exposure. Is your card funded from Binance? 👇
