I cropped out this to ask @cz_binance a simple question regarding job hunting. Why would your staffs use work computer to apply jobs rather than their personal computers ?

Saw a few discussions about size of hack, why impact to bitcoin price is small, etc. 👇
$6.3 billion is the biggest in USD terms, but not in BTC terms. MtGox was 650,000 BTC!
Other important numbers to consider:
% of bitcoin (in relation to BTC total supply), ie, market impact. MtGox is big there again at 5%+.
Number of users impacted, and % of user assets impacted. MtGox (the largest CEX at the time) and FTX (not small) were all near 100% of users and their asseets.
Most important: Who is impacted? Does the platform cover it all? (only one victim), as in recent two CEX cases and Binance.
Obviously, still a major disaster for the industry, Binance (and me). It hurts, but we survive.
Most importantly, we protect our users.

In the aftermath of the largest incident in crypto history, Binance’s response is what industry leadership looks like.
Immediate, direct communication from Richard Teng. User funds fully covered from the SAFU fund and company reserves (not other customers). Roughly half the assets already frozen through coordinated action with stablecoin issuers, blockchain partners, and law enforcement. Deposits continuing, withdrawals paused only for a security overhaul, and a clear commitment to an updated Proof of Reserves.
This is how mature platforms absorb extreme events and protect users. The standard has been raised. Proud of the response.

⚠️ALERT: Python warns unpatched apps could trust FAKE WEBSITES after 8 certificate keys were EXPOSED.
Attackers could intercept connections, including to Python's own sites, python(.)org and PyPI.
Each secret key was a number below 256, per Python core developer Christian Heimes, so anyone could work it out.
Unpatched tools would show no warning, so a fake PyPI could hand you tampered packages.
Apps could also hand passwords or API keys straight to an impostor, as a fake site "receives whatever those clients send," per security firm Endor Labs.
There's no evidence the keys have been used in attacks so far, per BleepingComputer.
Browsers are protected, as Chrome, Firefox, Microsoft and Apple have now blocked the affected certificates.
If you use Python, here's how to stay safe:
1. Check your pip with "python -m pip --version"
2. Upgrade to pip 26.2.2 or later, using the secure command in Python's announcement
3. Upgrade certifi and uv too
4. Repeat in every virtual environment you use
5. Rebuild your Docker images with caching off, and upgrade pip inside them, as some official Docker Python images still ship an older version
Updating your computer alone won't fix older pip, because it carries its own certificate list.

Call me paranoid, but be extra careful visiting ANY web site in the next few days, as some web admins are not always up-to-date with security patches.
Two vulnerabilities (CVE-2026-109618 and CVE-2026-109619) reported for PHP, the web programming language, affecting servers running popular apps like WordPress and Magento, with patches released October 21, 2026 after details leaked early.
Exploitation was confirmed in the wild soon after disclosure, prompting quick WAF protections and patching by IT teams, as unauthenticated attacks could turn visited sites into vectors for credential theft or device exploits.
Stay SAFU!

It's amazing to see that Solana was able to advertise and even get an office in China. 👏
@BNBChain was not able to do this, so far. 🤣
Hopefully, what's good for one industry player is also good for the rest.
