Binance clients pull $4.7 billion after hack
Binance, the world's largest cryptocurrency exchange, suffered a major security breach in which approximately $6.3 billion in client assets were stolen. The FBI attributed the hack to North Korean hackers who compromised an engineer's laptop to gain access to digital wallets. Following the theft, Binance resumed withdrawals and customers have since withdrawn about $4.6 billion, representing roughly 2 percent of the exchange's total holdings.
