Binance said its initial investigation into the multi-billion crypto breach has pointed to a compromised DevOps engineer’s laptop.
The exchange said the laptop compromise may have allowed an attacker to access a service container and submit unauthorized withdrawal transactions. It said it had found no evidence of a wallet private-key leak, though its investigation remains ongoing.
