Every story this desk has filed under hot wallet, most recent first.
An attacker drained 17 Binance hot wallets on nine chains on Thursday evening, most of it in about 20 minutes. Stablecoin issuers froze about $2.7 billion within hours. Binance traces the breach to a compromised engineer's laptop and says it will cover every loss. TRM Labs and Chainalysis attribute the theft to North Korea's TraderTraitor unit.
