LONDON (The Thursday Times) — Binance ne Itwar ko withdrawals bahal karna shuru kar diye, jab us ne kaha ke Jumerat ke hack mein chori hue 6 arab 30 crore dollar ke tokens ka bara hissa poora kar liya gaya hai, jis ka ilzam FBI ne North Korea par lagaya hai.
Duniya ke sab se bare cryptocurrency exchange ne kaha ke us ne chori hue assets ka 90% se zyada hissa apni corporate treasury aur doosre funds se badal diya hai, aur nuqsan poora karne ke liye 6 arab 34 crore dollar se zyada alag rakh liye hain. Us ne kaha ke baqi tokens kam liquid hain, jinhein darkar miqdar mein hasil karne mein zyada waqt lag sakta hai.
"Binance in chori hue funds ka maali asar khud bardasht karega, hamare users nahin," company ne Hafta ko kaha. Withdrawals marhalon mein bahal ho rahe hain, jin ki shuruaat bitcoin, ether, BNB, Solana, XRP aur dogecoin se hui, aur Itwar ko kai networks par bahal kar diye gaye. Bitcoin, ether aur Tether ke tamam holdings poore kar diye gaye hain, saath hi saat doosre aam taur par tijarat hone wale tokens bhi.
FBI ne Hafta ko kaha ke North Korea ki sarkari sarparasti wali TraderTraitor unit ne yeh hamla kiya. Us ne kaha ke hackers ko chori hue assets ether mein tabdeel karte dekha gaya hai aur yeh ke us ko tawaqqo hai ke decentralised finance aur instant swap services ke zariye mazeed money laundering hogi. Binance ne Juma ko kaha ke us ne qanoon nafiz karne wale idaron aur partners ki madad se chori hue assets mein se taqreeban 3 arab dollar munjamid kar diye hain, aur US Secret Service ne kaha ke woh raqam ka suragh lagane aur use wapas hasil karne ke liye "din raat" kaam kar rahi hai.
Yeh dakaiti record par sab se bari hai, jis ne 2025 mein Bybit exchange se chori hone wale 1 arab 50 crore dollar ko bhi pichhe chhor diya, jis ka ilzam FBI ne bhi North Korea par lagaya tha. Binance ne pehle kaha tha ke aik engineer ka laptop hack ho gaya tha, lekin baad mein kaha ke use "sendh lagane ke mazeed maqamat" mile hain. Co-chief executive Richard Teng ne kaha ke aik se zyada shakhs mulawwis tha aur hackers ne apne nishanat chhupane ke liye "khud tabahi ka nizam" jaise tareeqe istemal kiye. Pyongyang aik arse se chori ke liye cyber units chalane ki tardeed karta aa raha hai.
