title: Binance has been hacked, with estimated stolen assets reaching as high as $6.3 BILLION, making this the largest crypto hack in history.
description: "Binance’s security breach involves an estimated $6.3 billion, with roughly $3 billion frozen so far. The exchange says it will cover all losses. A serious incident, with the final financial impact still being assessed.\n\nYet the headline number tells only part of the story.\n\nUsing the attached chart’s estimates, the theft represents approximately 0.23% of total crypto market capitalisation.\n\nCompare that with:\n• Mt. Gox, 2014: 5.84%\n• Bitfinex, 2016: 0.65%\n• The DAO, 2016: 0.43%\n\nThe crypto market is considerably larger today, making this incident smaller in relative terms than several earlier breaches.\n\nBitcoin has also recovered to around $78,400 after falling below $77,000.\n\nThat doesn’t diminish the security failure. And market capitalisation is no substitute for assessing an exchange’s ability to absorb losses.\n\nBut it helps distinguish a major operational incident from claims of an industry-wide collapse.\n\nKeep the security concerns. Add the denominator.\n\nSource: bitcorn"
