Security advisory
===============
Binance discovered a large scale security breach today. The hackers were able to obtain a large number of user API keys, 2FA codes, and potentially other info. All deposits and withdrawals (including zil) are suspended. Trading is still enabled at the moment. Binance has also confirmed with us that ZILs holding in Binance is not affected by this incident.

As this is a developing incident, we do encourage all users who use Binance platform to follow Binance's announcement closely to determine what are the mitigative actions they need to perform on their end (if any).
