Binance restarts withdrawals after $6.3bn heist

Binance began gradually restoring withdrawals on Sunday after suspending them following Thursday’s cyberattack, in which about $6.3bn in cryptocurrency was stolen. The exchange says it has replaced approximately 95 percent of the affected assets and will absorb the financial losses rather than pass them on to customers. The FBI blamed North Korea for the theft, identifying the operation as TraderTraitor; investigators said the stolen assets were being converted mainly into ether. Binance said security checks are ongoing and that it is working with law enforcement and industry partners to trace and recover the funds.
