Binance halts withdrawals after security breach linked to engineer's laptop; funds reportedly safe.

Binance paused deposits and withdrawals after detecting unauthorized transactions from several hot wallets, traced to a DevOps engineer's laptop. The exchange found no evidence of private key leaks and resumed deposits, expecting withdrawals to restart within 48 hours. Binance is working with law enforcement and blockchain partners, assuring users that funds are safe and thanking Tether and Circle for freezing nearly $1.8 billion in stablecoins. An updated proof of reserves will be published after the investigation concludes.

As of Oct 30, 2026 13:21 WIB, BNB trades at Rp12.994.655 on Pluang, down 5.06% in one day, showing a sharper decline compared to USDT which fell only 0.47% to Rp18.123. BNB's market cap stands at Rp1.710,11 trillion, contrasting with USDT's much larger Rp3.271,03 trillion, highlighting the difference in scale between the two assets during this period of Binance wallet scrutiny.
