Earlier today, news emerged that the world’s largest crypto exchange Binance was hacked. It was stated that the blockchain network BNB Chain, which is said to belong to the exchange, was attacked by one or more hackers who are unknown.
In the statements made from the official social media accounts of BNB Chain, it was stated that the network was stopped and the size of the attack was around 70-80 million dollars. However, some rumors circulating on the internet claimed that 600 million dollars of crypto money may have been stolen. While the attack continues to be at the top of the agenda, now a statement has come from Binance.
“Binance has no control over BNB Chain”
In his statements, Binance stated that the news about the recent cyber attack is limited to BNB Chain and has nothing to do with Binance. The exchange added that it has no control over BNB Chain. The entire statement was as follows:
“The news about the recent cyber attack is limited to BNB Chain, but it has nothing to do with Binance. Binance has no control over BNB Chain.”
BNB Chain is the world’s largest smart contract blockchain in terms of daily active users, managed by its community, running decentralized. Since its launch, it has processed 3 billion transactions from 163 million different addresses, making it accessible to a large user base for developers thanks to low gas fees and zero latency. Binance, on the other hand, is an ecosystem of over 1,400 projects and dApps using Binance Smart Chain across multiple categories spanning DeFi, Meta Universes, blockchain games, NFTs and more.”
In the aforementioned incident, which took place on the BSC Token Hub, which is an inter-chain bridge, Binance did not suffer any loss or damage, and Binance users were not affected in any way.”
