TREE NEWS update: Binance has identified additional breach points in the $6.3 billion attack that forced it to halt withdrawals, with a 45-hour estimate for restarting the service. The exchange said it will cover all losses using its SAFU reserve and company funds. Withdrawals remain paused as the investigation continues.
Binance Reports More Breach Points in $6.3B Attack, Withdrawals Paused
The disclosure of additional breach points, rather than a contained single vector, is the more consequential detail here: it suggests the investigation is still expanding the scope of the compromise while withdrawals stay frozen. The commitment to absorb losses via SAFU and company funds keeps the exposure on Binance's balance sheet rather than users', which is the distinction that matters for counterparty confidence during an outage. The 45-hour restart estimate is now the key marker to watch — whether it holds or slips will say more about operational control than the loss coverage itself.
