Binance has $570 million of BNB tokens stolen in crypto hack
Nearly 2 million BNB tokens amounting to $570 million were taken during a recent cross-chain bridge hack.
Cryptocurrency exchange Binance is currently dealing with the aftermath of a massive hack, with the company confirming that a cross-chain bridge linking its BNB Chain was targeted on Thursday. With this cross-chain bridge exploit, hackers were able to move a substantial amount of BNB tokens off-network. Thus far, a reported 2 million BNB tokens were withdrawn which amounts to approximately $570 million based on current token prices.
To prevent further losses, Binance has been working with network validators to suspend the creation of new blocks on BSC, along with suspending all transaction processing in order to give a team of developers room to investigate the hack. According to a Binance spokesperson in a statement made to CNBC, the company presently has 26 active validators, with 44 total across various time zones.
“An exploit on a cross-chain bridge, BSC Token Hub, resulted in extra BNB. We have asked all validators to temporarily suspend BSC,” tweeted Binance CEO, Changpeng Zhao. “The issue is contained now. Your funds are safe. We apologize for the inconvenience and will provide further updates accordingly.”
It’s noted in reports from outlets like CNBC that BNB Chain has since resumed operations. Elaborating further on what happened in a blog post, the Binance team echoes what Changpeng Zhao tweeted in assuring that the “vast majority of the funds remain under control.”
As a result of the hack, the value of BNB dropped over 3 percent on Friday to $285.36 a coin according to CoinMarketCap. For more on the Binance hack, be sure to read through the full report from CNBC, and check out some of our previous coverage including Congress asking Binance alongside other digital asset exchange companies like Coinbase and FTX for additional info on the over $1 billion in crypto fraud that it’s investigating.

Wondering when the last time someone hacked and stole my ETFs.-

The fact that so many crypto exchanges have been hit with such massive thefts should be all the proof anyone needs that they're garbage.

Ultimately it's centrally de-centralized.

Being scammed is nothing strange on the internet. It happened to me where I lost $113,070 worth of BTC to a scammer. Of course I wouldn't let it go. So I started searching around for a professional who could help me out. I was pointed to the direction of thecybergoat@techie.com who are a group of elites who specialize on on-chain and off-chain analytics and use modern crypto forensic tools. With simple details such as transaction IDs and TXs, they were able to brute the scammers wallet and retrieve the lost funds. It took them less than a week. If you're in a similar situation needing access to lost crypto to scammers or locked out from your own wallet, I would recommend them highly.

Crypto investment is the fastest growing investment that one can actually do from the comfort of their homes. I had been investing in Bitcoin for a while now and just leaving it there watching the profit growing bit by bit but I wanted more so when Kate told me about an investment trading group that she had be investing with I liked the opportunity, it was something I wanted but it was too good to be true as well , she convinced me to trust her and sent me proofs of her successful investments with the company as well so that made me to register with the company . Fast forward to 2 months later when I had invested over 40k with the company and I wanted to cash out, they told me I needed to upgrade my account by paying a refundable fee so i paid and then the withdrawal fee which I also paid as well , then they asked me to pay a maintenance fee and I refused cos I didn’t have any money left so they restricted me access to the website. I told a friend about the situation and he referred me to a recovery Hacker with the contact address SWIFTRECOVERY001 @ G M A I L . C O M, I wrote to him and the rest was history ... he successfully recovered my initial investment and 100% of the profit I have accumulated over the months . I’m very Grateful to SWIFT RECOVERY and I have referred him to one of my friends as well ... you can reach out to him as well for assistance if you’ve been in a similar situation with these online fraud companies.
