--
Binance announced on its X platform that it has temporarily suspended Binance Alpha trading, which will resume once the security issues are resolved. User funds are safe, and the platform will continue to release updates.
Binance suffered a theft of approximately $3.43 billion in assets early this morning, excluding the $2.43 billion in stablecoins frozen by stablecoin issuers. The largest stolen asset was 18,270 BTC, worth $1.44 billion, which the hackers have not yet touched. The remaining altcoins are being sold for ETH, and the hackers now hold 467,000 ETH, worth $1.06 billion.
Protocol engineer Justin Kalland analyzed that the suspected Binance attacker, after transferring 175 million USDT, may have left off-chain logs containing information such as the IP address by mistakenly paying 127.67 USDT in gas through MetaMask Gas Station. Kalland called on MetaMask to retain relevant Web2 logs; the address involved is 0xAa24…54a0.
