Binance afirma haber reemplazado el 90% de los 630 millones de dólares robados en el mayor ataque cibernético contra una plataforma de criptomonedas de la historia.

La plataforma de intercambio de criptomonedas Binance afirma haber cubierto ya el 90% de los aproximadamente 6300 millones de dólares robados de sus carteras hot, en lo que se considera el mayor ataque cibernético contra criptomonedas de la historia.

En su último informe sobre la recuperación de los fondos, Binance indica que ha destinado más de 6340 millones de dólares de sus propios recursos para compensar las pérdidas y que todas las posesiones de los usuarios en Bitcoin (BTC), Ethereum (ETH), Tether (USDT), BNB (BNB), Solana (SOL), USD Coin (USDC), XRP (XRP), USD1 (USD1), Ripple USD (RLUSD) y Zcash (ZEC) están ahora completamente respaldadas.

La plataforma utilizó parte de su Fondo de Activos Seguros para los Usuarios (SAFU), una porción de su fondo de seguros para futuros, así como sus propios recursos financieros corporativos, para comprar de nuevo los activos robados.

Según Binance,

“Binance asumirá el impacto financiero de estos fondos robados, no nuestros usuarios.”

El 10% restante consiste en tokens menos líquidos que no se encuentran entre los diez más populares, y Binance indica que podría llevar más tiempo adquirirlos en las cantidades necesarias.

Binance afirma que sus carteras hot fueron comprometidas el 29 de octubre a las 20:05 UTC.

El FBI y empresas de análisis privadas han identificado al grupo Lazarus, respaldado por el estado norcoreano y también conocido como TraderTraitor, como el responsable del ataque, según informa The Business Standard.

Corea del Norte ha negado su implicación.

Richard Teng, coCEO de Binance, dice que el robo involucró a varias personas que utilizaron un “mecanismo de autodestrucción” para ocultar sus rastros.

Dice que los primeros hallazgos indicaban que el portátil del ingeniero afectado había sido comprometido, pero un análisis posterior reveló “más puntos de vulnerabilidad”.

 

Con la ayuda de las autoridades policiales y los socios del sector, se han congelado alrededor de 3 mil millones de dólares de los activos robados.

 

Binance también realizó una nueva captura de estado de sus reservas el 31 de octubre y afirma que sigue en camino para reanudar los retiros el domingo, 1 de noviembre.
