TREE NEWS reports: Security Alliance estimates that hackers behind the $6.3 billion Binance exploit had access to the exchange’s systems for eight weeks before the attack. The cybersecurity firm flagged similar multi-stage intrusion patterns behind other high-profile crypto heists, including the $388 million Bitget hack.
Binance hackers had 8 weeks of access before $6.3B exploit, Security Alliance estimates
The eight-week dwell time is the detail that reframes this as a detection and monitoring failure rather than a single breach, and Security Alliance linking the pattern to Bitget suggests a repeatable playbook targeting large exchanges rather than a one-off. That shifts scrutiny toward how exchange security teams and their third-party monitors surface long-running intrusions. Whether this attribution holds and whether other venues show the same intrusion signature are the open questions worth tracking.
