Kriptovalyuta giganti Binance payshanba kuni o'z platformasida "xavfsizlik hodisasi" taxminan 6,3 milliard dollarlik aktivlarga ta'sir qilganini ma'lum qildi.
Dunyodagi eng yirik kriptovalyuta birjasi ushbu aktivlardan deyarli 3 milliard dollari hozirgacha zanjirda (on-chain) muzlatilganini aytdi.
Tether va Circle mos ravishda hodisaga bog'liq 1,567 milliard USDT va 800 million dollarni muzlatganini ma'lum qildi. Arbitrum Security Council Binance Exploit'dan taxminan 30,5 million dollarni muzlatish uchun tranzaksiyani amalga oshirgani aytilmoqda.
"Dastlabki tekshiruv shuni ko'rsatadiki, xavfsizlik hodisasi DevOps muhandisining noutbuki buzilishi bilan bog'liq bo'lishi mumkin, bu esa hujumchiga xizmat konteyneriga kirish va ruxsatsiz yechib olish tranzaksiyalarini yuborish imkonini bergan," — deb aytdi Binance yangilanishida.
Kompaniya hamyon shaxsiy kalitining sizib chiqishi haqida hech qanday dalil yo'qligini aytdi va barcha yo'qotishlarni Foydalanuvchilar uchun Xavfsiz Aktivlar Jamg'armasi (SAFU) fondi va o'z mablag'lari hisobidan qoplashini qo'shimcha qildi.
Ehtiyot chorasi sifatida Binance quyidagi choralarni ham ko'rdi:
- Xavfsizlik tekshiruvlari yakunlanguncha depozit va yechib olishlarni vaqtincha to'xtatdi;
- Ta'sirlangan manzil ruxsatini bekor qildi;
- Mablag'larni kuzatish va qaytarish uchun huquqni muhofaza qiluvchi organlar va blokcheyn razvedka hamkorlari bilan hamkorlik qildi.
"Biz jinoyatchilarning shaxsini aniqlash va ularni adolatga yetkazish uchun huquqni muhofaza qiluvchi hamkorlarimiz bilan yaqin hamkorlik qilmoqdamiz," — deb aytdi Binance.
Bu hodisa hozirgacha qayd etilgan eng yirik kriptovalyuta o'g'irligi bo'lib, 2025-yil fevral oyida Bybit'dan taxminan 1,5 milliard dollar o'g'irlanganidan ham oshib ketdi. Keyinchalik bu hodisa Shimoliy Koreyaga bog'landi.
"O'g'irlangan mablag'ning hozirgi taxminiy miqdori o'g'irlik vaqtidagi taxminan 5,912 milliard dollarni tashkil etadi, bu keyingi eng yirik kripto o'g'irligidan deyarli 4 baravar ko'p," — deb aytdi Chainalysis blokcheyn razvedka firmasi X postida.

Cryptocurrency giant Binance said on Thursday that a "security incident" on its platform has impacted about $6.3 billion worth of assets.
The world's biggest cryptocurrency exchange said nearly $3 billion of those assets have been frozen on-chain so far.
Tether and Circle said they have frozen more than 1.567 billion USDTand 800 million related to the incident, respectively. The Arbitrum Security Council is said to have executed a transaction to freeze about $30.5 million from the Binance Exploit.
"Initial investigation suggests that the security incident may involve a compromised DevOps engineer's laptop, which allowed an attacker to gain access to a service container and submit unauthorized withdrawal transactions," Binance said in an update.
The company said there is no evidence of a wallet private key leak, adding it will cover all losses from the Secure Asset Fund for Users (SAFU) fund and its own funds.
Out of an abundance of caution, Binance has also taken the following steps -
- Temporarily suspended deposits and withdrawals while security checks are completed
- Revoked the affected address authorization;
- Engaged law enforcement and blockchain intelligence partners to trace and recover funds
"We are working closely with our law enforcement partners to confirm the identity of these criminals and bring them to justice," Binance said.
The development makes it the biggest cryptocurrency heist recorded to date, surpassing the theft of about $1.5 billion from Bybit in February 2025. The incident was subsequently attributed to North Korea.
"Our current estimate on the amount stolen is approximately $5.912 billion at time of theft, nearly 4x the amount stolen in the next largest crypto heist," blockchain intelligence firm Chainalysis said in an X post.
