Binance employee: Affected wallet system rebuilt in a brand-new environment, willing to share attack characteristics with other platforms
November 4: A Binance employee, sisi, posted that responsibility for the $6.3 billion asset theft lies with Binance and should not be blamed on a particular engineer or a technical standard. Binance will bear full compensation and will work with law enforcement and on-chain institutions to pursue frozen and intercepted funds. She said the withdrawal volume in the two days after withdrawals resumed was comparable to the stolen amount, all related withdrawals were paid out, and Binance did not misappropriate user assets.
According to sisi, as of November 3, the affected wallet system had been rebuilt in a brand-new environment, the in-house AI tools had been rebuilt with tightened permissions, relevant devices and credentials had been replaced or revoked, and all intrusion points mentioned in the report had been closed. Binance has invited an independent third-party security firm to conduct a review, and the results will be made public once completed. She also said that Binance supports establishing a joint defense mechanism among exchanges and is willing to share the characteristics of this attack with platforms including competitors.
