Attackers heated supermarket freezers up to 50°C (122°F). Hundreds of French stores were hit, then 115+ in six other countries. Nobody has confirmed who or how.
In 3 days, 71% of one maker's exposed control panels in France came off the internet.
What have you left online?
The FBI says North Korea stole $6B+ from Binance. North Korea denies it. It's the largest crypto theft on record.
The way in: a fake job interview. An engineer ran a take-home "assignment" on his work computer. It was malware.
Take-home test? Use a throwaway machine.

Almost 29 million secret keys leaked on public GitHub last year.
Deleting the file doesn't fix it. The key is still in your git history, and attackers have used leaked keys within five minutes.
Free check: trufflehog finds the ones that still work. gitleaks blocks new ones.
October 2026 might go down in history as one of the bloodiest months in recent enteprise memory.
With over 25+ hacks in the month alone, including 2 CVSS 10.0 (perfect storms on @gitlab and @php_net ) and a $6.4 billion dollar heist by North Korea on @binance , Hacktober is showing the world what threat actors armed with cyber models can do in destructive capabilities.
Binance's initial investigation suggests that the security incident may involve a compromised DevOps engineer’s laptop, which allowed an attacker to gain access to a service container and submit unauthorized withdrawal transactions. We have found no evidence of any wallet private key leak. We will share a detailed technical post-mortem once the investigation is complete and the facts are fully verified.
The estimated total impact sits at around $6.3B. We have worked with blockchain partners to freeze affected assets, with ~$3 billion frozen on-chain so far.
Binance will cover all losses from the SAFU fund and the company’s funds. User funds are safe. We will also publish an updated Proof of Reserves once the remediation is complete.
As an immediate precaution, Binance has:
- temporarily suspended deposits and withdrawals while security checks are completed;
- revoked the affected address authorisation;
- engaged law enforcement and blockchain intelligence partners to trace and recover funds.
Our teams are working around the clock to resolve this issue safely and thoroughly. We are working closely with our law enforcement partners to confirm the identity of these criminals and bring them to justice.
Please rely only on official Binance channels for updates. Please feel free to contact Binance Customer Support if you have any further questions.
