Binance 遭受黑客攻击后调查揭示协同抹黑活动

Binance Hack Followed by Coordinated Smear Campaign, CZ Says

Former Binance CEO Changpeng Zhao says the exchange faced 'another attack' — this time in the form of a coordinated social media campaign following its October 29 security breach. An analysis covering a 78-hour window found 1,083 accounts published 11,700 hostile posts about the hack, generating roughly 20.93 million impressions, with 3,354 posts classified as disinformation. The narratives reportedly shifted in sync with Binance's official response, cycling through claims of insider involvement, insolvency, and withdrawal restrictions. Among the 641 most active accounts, 452 showed coordinated behavior, and 89% rarely mentioned Binance before the event but posted at 24.6 times their baseline frequency during the incident.

Binance Staffer Details Rebuilt Wallet Systems, Offers to Share Attack Signatures

A Binance employee using the handle sisi said the exchange has rebuilt the affected wallet systems in a completely new environment as of November 3, with internal AI tools reconstructed and permissions tightened, compromised devices and credentials replaced or invalidated, and all intrusion points sealed. Binance has engaged independent third-party security auditors, with results to be published upon completion. Sisi said withdrawals processed in the two days after resumption were equivalent to the stolen amount, and all were honored without touching user assets. The exchange also said it is willing to share attack characteristics with other platforms, including competitors, to support an industry-wide defense mechanism.

Binance Breach Started With Fake Recruitment, Mirroring Axie Infinity Hack

The preliminary investigation into Binance's $6.3 billion theft reveals it began with a fake job recruitment targeting a software engineer in September. The attacker posed as a 'project director' on a legitimate job platform, conducted a fake HR video interview and a second-round 'CEO' interview, then asked the engineer to download a code repository containing a zero-day trojan that bypassed endpoint protection. The intruder then used the compromised device and internal AI tools to control two wallet engineers' computers, steal deployment credentials, and execute a malicious script on October 29. Binance has frozen or intercepted approximately $2.85 billion and restored 98% of affected assets. The method closely parallels the 2022 Ronin bridge hack that drained Axie Infinity's sidechain.

Hong Kong Plans Licensing Regime for Virtual Asset Trading, Custody, and Advisory

Hong Kong will introduce a licensing framework covering virtual asset trading, custody, advisory, and management services, with a draft amendment bill to be submitted to the Legislative Council in 2026. Deputy Secretary for Financial Services and the Treasury Joseph Chan made the announcement at the conclusion of Hong Kong Fintech Week x StartmeupHK 2026, citing the policy direction set by the Digital Asset Development Policy Statement 2.0. SFC CEO Julia Leung separately outlined the regulator's strategic vision, noting that artificial intelligence and tokenization will empower Hong Kong's financial market development, while emphasizing the need to protect investors and strengthen cyber resilience against rising AI-related threats.

South Korea's Ruling Party Proposes Delaying Crypto Income Tax

Kim Min-seok, leader of South Korea's ruling Democratic Party, has formally proposed to the government that the crypto income tax scheduled for January 1, 2027 be postponed. Speaking at a party meeting, Kim argued that South Korea should first establish a comprehensive legal framework through a Digital Asset Basic Act, allowing companies and investors time to adapt before taxing crypto gains. The proposal signals continued policy uncertainty for Korean crypto traders who have faced repeated delays on the tax's effective date.

BitMart Reports Hack Possibly Linked to Mercado Bitcoin Attacker

BitMart founder Sheldon Xia disclosed that his exchange suffered a hack on the same day as other attacks, describing the amount as small but revealing deeper operational strains. Xia said the platform has faced persistent attacks and that the security team is 'severely understaffed' after a reorganization left only a core team. He also cited doxxing threats and retaliation from disgruntled former employees, including a former marketing operations lead, as deterring technical staff. Preliminary findings suggest the attack may have been carried out by the same group that breached Brazil's Mercado Bitcoin.

North Korean Official Responds to Binance Hack Attribution

Kim Yo Jong, a senior official in North Korea's Workers' Party and sister of leader Kim Jong Un, issued a second statement on the Binance hack, saying Pyongyang is willing to engage in dialogue 'though this does not necessarily serve the national interest.' Kim had earlier criticized Washington for blaming North Korea for the $6.3 billion Binance breach. The statement follows a pattern of North Korean denials in major crypto theft cases, even as blockchain analytics firms and security researchers continue to document Lazarus Group-linked laundering patterns.

Binance Hack Laundering Routes Through HitBTC, Analyst Says

Security firm Salus reported that approximately 3,600 SOL from the Binance hack moved through multiple automated paths and a 'peeling chain' pattern before reaching a HitBTC hot wallet. Salus said HitBTC has repeatedly appeared in laundering routes for major crypto heists, with about $22 million in illicit funds flowing to the platform as of July this year. The firm noted that in the $1.4 billion Bybit hack, at least $3.68 million in North Korea-linked funds also reached HitBTC, and that Bybit's subsequent requests for cooperation went largely unanswered.

Bitcoin Miner Revenue Hits 11-Month High Despite Price Decline

Bitcoin miners recorded $1.215 billion in total revenue for October, the highest monthly figure since November 2025, even as BTC fell 7.3% during the month. Hashprice declined from $40.24 per PH/s per day on October 1 to $33.18 by November 1, a 17.54% drop tied to market turmoil following the Binance hack. Total network hashrate stands at 1,082.24 EH/s, with average block time around 9 minutes and 52 seconds. Analysts note that while the downturn has not yet disrupted mining operations, sustained margin compression could test miners' financial resilience.
