Binance-hacker-1029 – $5.6B stolen from Binance

first world problems. geez

Crypto? That's all going away.

That's why I exited crypto long time ago, I could've been more well off if I kept it but these shenanigans is why I sold everything.

Just in time for elections. Now none of the bots/operatives can get paid...oops.

Interesting. I got an email alerting me to a login attempt and requesting for me to verify my device from blockchain.com yesterday. Can't even remember creating an account but I guess it must've happened (I have a lot of forgotten accounts). Wonder if this is related.

UPD: This is related to the Polymarket security incident, not Binance. Sorry, I missed that.

Per Changpeng Zhao (former Binance CEO):

This seems to be caused by DebugBear compromise: https://x.com/debugbear/status/2115866496643535293?s=46&t=_R...

it appears to be an injection attack on the front end. injecting incorrect tx, but showing a valid tx for the user to sign.
