Poof. It's gone with the wind. Digital assets just waiting to be hacked. Nobody to hold responsible.
Am I missing something? Never have understood crypto craze or its " investors".
Its Texas Aggies, dammit

The problem was a laptop exploit enabled by inadequate security procedures on exchange hot wallets used for customer withdrawals. No customer funds affected.

No evidence that they will be. And the sun has not burned out yet either.

The way it was handled quickly, funds will be returned. Im not sure its bad for crypto in any long term way

That's why I was asking if Binance has to spot buy to cover lost assets. I assume the stolen ones will be hard to off load for sometime.

From my understanding, Binance is eating the full loss in lieu of any potential customer loss. Kudos to them but not sure that is something that we can count to be policy forever for them or any other similar platform.

I thibk the bigger take away js this wasnt a hack of any protocol. It was sloppy security with a Dev engineers laptop. Thats an easy fix not related to crypto itself.


And they were able to quickly stop and retrieve something like 90% of it

We are still not sure what the parameters of the attack were per se for the laptop. Likely sloppy handling as they usually are but nothing confirmed.

And nothing was retrieved.l as of yet. The 90% you read is Binance personally eating 90% of the loss instead of its customers. They are emptying their safety fund and then taking the hit on their bottom line directly from their own treasury. The other 10% is other types of coins that don't move as quickly and which they are buying to stabilize the market and eventually will equal out to absorb the entire 3.3bln dollar loss. Again, kudos to them for taking the hit. Though they probably kind of have to. Can you imagine the run on crypto if they hadn't?
