I simply refuse to believe that a single laptop had access to over $6 billion
Binance's initial investigation suggests that the security incident may involve a compromised DevOps engineer’s laptop, which allowed an attacker to gain access to a service container and submit unauthorized withdrawal transactions. We have found no evidence of any wallet private key leak. We will share a detailed technical post-mortem once the investigation is complete and the facts are fully verified.
The estimated total impact sits at around $6.3B. We have worked with blockchain partners to freeze affected assets, with ~$3 billion frozen on-chain so far.
Binance will cover all losses from the SAFU fund and the company’s funds. User funds are safe. We will also publish an updated Proof of Reserves once the remediation is complete.
As an immediate precaution, Binance has:
- temporarily suspended deposits and withdrawals while security checks are completed;
- revoked the affected address authorisation;
- engaged law enforcement and blockchain intelligence partners to trace and recover funds.
Our teams are working around the clock to resolve this issue safely and thoroughly. We are working closely with our law enforcement partners to confirm the identity of these criminals and bring them to justice.
Please rely only on official Binance channels for updates. Please feel free to contact Binance Customer Support if you have any further questions.

Replying to @Algo_Surf
@algo_surf updated, featuring information that is usually not captured by indexers. First, we have metrics like TPS and fees over time. Drag over the chart to zoom in, or explore any time slice from the presets and Period dropdown. You can get to the exact blocks by clicking block bars.
It is fun to click around and find TPS spikes - here are some TPS examples from my+@Urthoo's May 2024 ALGO+USDC load tests:

This is powered by surf-indexer, a new (unofficial) indexer that supplements data left out by the official one. It uses DuckDB and currently takes up just 750MB for the Mainnet data set. It is pretty fast at what it does, currently being served live (no cache) from a potato VPS and a laptop. You can see code and features here: github.com/d13co/surf-indexe…
There's a bunch of other features for you to discover around accounts. One of my favorites is the relationship between multisig accounts and sub-signers. Normally this relationship is only discoverable one-way (from multisig to sub-signer)
Now, for each account, you can see which multisigs they are a part of, as well as whether they have ever signed or not (as listing sub-signers is permissionless, so if an account hasn't signed for a multisig, they may not have been aware that they were part of it)

There's also semi-hidden work on logic sigs, pending a bit of polish and labeling💅
Finally a topical one: there's a Consensus Upgrades page, which lists all consensus upgrades that have taken place. algo.surf/upgrades
Which brings me nicely to: Upgrade your nodes, algod 5.0.4 is out with a new consensus release.
