Blockaid CEO: Binance hack may be key misuse, not theft

Framing the Binance incident as key misuse rather than outright theft shifts the story from a perimeter breach to a compromise of transaction-signing infrastructure — a distinction that matters because it implies the weak point sits in how exchanges authorize transactions, not merely in how they store assets. The parallel drawn to Bybit suggests a possible pattern in attacker methodology, which is more consequential for exchange operators and custody and signing-technology providers than for any single venue. Whether that pattern holds across other incidents is the open question worth watching.
