🪙 Binance promised to resume cryptocurrency withdrawals within the next 45 hours.

The investigation showed that the hack turned out to be more complex than the initial version involving a compromised engineer's laptop — additional points of penetration were discovered, and about $3 billion in stolen assets have already been frozen.

The exchange promises to fully cover the losses from its own funds and the SAFU fund.

🤣 CZ asked Elon Musk to stop joking about Binance's hack and reminded him of the $500 million investment in Twitter's acquisition.

According to Zhao, the SpaceX (SPCX) shares received for these investments are now worth more than $1 billion, so instead of mockery, he would like to see support from Musk.

Binance co-founder Yi He added that the exchange's annual revenue is sufficient to cover losses, so there will be no need to sell SpaceX shares.

🔫 In the US, two brothers took an entire family hostage for cryptocurrency — the criminals broke into a house in Minnesota, tied people up, and threatened them with weapons for over nine hours, demanding access to crypto wallets.

When there wasn't enough money, the owner was forced to go to his dacha for additional wallets — in the end, the brothers stole over $8,000,000, but were later apprehended and received 15 and 15.5 years in prison.

☠️ Hackers attacked the websites of 12 crypto projects, including Flap, Kintsu, Pickle Finance and ApeX DeF — the attackers used a malicious tool called Step Drainer, which allows cryptocurrency to be stolen after connecting a wallet and signing dangerous permissions.

Users who interacted with these sites on October 31 are advised to check and revoke suspicious permissions via Revoke.cash, and if malicious transactions were signed — to transfer the remaining funds to a new wallet.

🪙 18 years ago, on October 31, 2008, the Bitcoin Whitepaper authored by Satoshi Nakamoto was published.

The nine-page technical document titled «A Peer-to-Peer Electronic Cash System» described the principles of a peer-to-peer payment system that subsequently revolutionized the world of financial technologies.

The first cryptocurrency network was launched in January 2009, and in April 2011, Satoshi disappeared. The public has yet to find out who authored the document that underpins a trillion-dollar industry.

💰 Vitalik Buterin explained how he protects his privacy using digital minimalism:

🔴 Abandoned web interfaces of crypto projects — for operations with ENS, IPFS, and private payments, he uses command-line tools, including those written with the help of AI.
🔴 Considers crypto sites potentially dangerous — even at the correct address, one can receive malicious code if the server is hacked.
🔴 Instead of the usual X (Twitter) interface, he uses Firefly.
🔴 Keeps his phone predominantly in airplane mode, connecting to the internet via Wi-Fi to limit location tracking by mobile operators.
