News of the hacking attack, which is thought to be the biggest-ever <span class=\"link\">crypto<\/span> heist, caused the prices of most major cryptocurrencies to fall sharply on Friday.<\/p>\n<p>However, the company has offered reassurances it would cover 90% of the losses from the attack using company funds to buy tokens to replenish a large portion of what was stolen.<\/p>\n<p>Binance suspended user withdrawals after the attack but said they would be resumed in phases, the first of which began on Sunday.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;First batch network now opened in phase one of withdrawals,&#8221; the exchange posted on X.<\/p>\n<p>As of 5 a.m. Eastern Time, Binance said it had restored withdrawals for Bitcoin, Ethereal, BNB, XRP, Base, Doge and Optimism, and that it would &#8220;continue to restore additional assets and networks in phases as security checks are completed.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The FBI accused North Korea of being behind the hack in a statement on Saturday, confirming earlier suspicions from private investigators and analysts that a Pyongyang-affiliated group called TraderTraitor was responsible.<\/p>\n<p>TraderTraitor is the same group blamed for a $1.5 billion theft from the Bybit platform in February last year.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) is releasing information advising the Democratic People&#8217;s Republic of Korea (North Korea) was responsible for the theft of more than $6 billion USD in virtual assets from cryptocurrency exchange Binance, on or about October 29, 2026,&#8221; the statement said.<\/p>\n<p>The FBI added that it had observed &#8220;TraderTraitor actors&#8221; converting stolen assets into Ethereum, and expected those assets to be laundered further by converting them using decentralized finance and instant swap services.<\/p>\n<p>It said it was urging private sector entities &#8220;to block transactions with or derived from addresses TraderTraitor actors are using to launder these stolen assets.&#8221;<\/p>\n<section class=\"content__body--footer\">\n<\/section>\n<p>  <!-- data-recirc-source=\"queryly\" --><\/p>\n<aside class=\"component list recirculation component--type-recirculation  \">\n        <\/aside>\n<section class=\"content__body--footer\">\n      <!-- tags --><\/p>\n<section class=\"content__tags\">\n<p class=\"content__tags__label\">In:<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<\/section><\/div>\n<p>#Binance #resumes #withdrawals #major #cryptocurrencies #billion #heist<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Binance said Sunday it had resumed withdrawals for some major cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin and&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":25115,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[123,15018,15036,6986,47,777,12548,180,15035],"class_list":["post-25114","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-business","tag-billion","tag-binance","tag-cryptocurrencies","tag-cryptocurrency","tag-heist","tag-major","tag-resumes","tag-technology","tag-withdrawals"],"featured_image_urls":{"full":["https:\/\/news678.top\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/11\/gettyimages-2302659444.jpg",1200,630,false],"thumbnail":["https:\/\/news678.top\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/11\/gettyimages-2302659444-150x150.jpg",150,150,true],"medium":["https:\/\/news678.top\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/11\/gettyimages-2302659444-300x158.jpg",300,158,true],"medium_large":["https:\/\/news678.top\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/11\/gettyimages-2302659444-768x403.jpg",640,336,true],"large":["https:\/\/news678.top\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/11\/gettyimages-2302659444-1024x538.jpg",640,336,true],"1536x1536":["https:\/\/news678.top\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/11\/gettyimages-2302659444.jpg",1200,630,false],"2048x2048":["https:\/\/news678.top\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/11\/gettyimages-2302659444.jpg",1200,630,false],"covernews-featured":["https:\/\/news678.top\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/11\/gettyimages-2302659444-1024x538.jpg",1024,538,true],"covernews-medium":["https:\/\/news678.top\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/11\/gettyimages-2302659444-540x340.jpg",540,340,true]},"author_info":{"display_name":"admin","author_link":"https:\/\/news678.top\/?author=1"},"category_info":"<a href=\"https:\/\/news678.top\/?cat=2\" rel=\"category\">Business<\/a>","tag_info":"Business","comment_count":"0","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/news678.top\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/25114","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/news678.top\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/news678.top\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news678.top\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news678.top\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=25114"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/news678.top\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/25114\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news678.top\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/25115"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/news678.top\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=25114"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news678.top\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=25114"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news678.top\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=25114"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
