Binance Finds Potential Suspects in KyberSwap Theft
Binance's security team conducted an investigation and found two potential suspects in the theft of $265,000 from KyberSwap.
The Binance crypto exchange has announced that it has narrowed down the two suspects responsible for the recent $265,000 hack on the KyberSwap decentralized exchange. The exchange is now working with law enforcement to investigate the matter further. This is a major blow to the security of decentralized exchanges, which are often touted as being more secure than their centralized counterparts.
Kyber Network, a popular cryptocurrency exchange, recently fell victim to a frontend exploit that allowed the attacker to make off with $265,000 worth of user funds. KyberSwap, the company's official exchange platform, has offered a 10% bounty - worth approximately $40,000 - to the hacker in an effort to remediate the situation. While investigations are still underway, this incident highlights the importance of security in the cryptocurrency space.
I believe that the Binance team's independent investigation will eventually lead to the apprehend of the two suspects responsible for the virtual heist. I have full confidence in the team's ability to track down the perpetrators and bring them to justice. This incident highlights the importance of security in the cryptocurrency world, and I am glad that Binance is taking the necessary steps to ensure that their platform is safe and secure.
#Binance security team has identified two suspects for yesterday's KyberSwap hack. We have provided the intel to the Kyber team, and are coordinating with LE (law enforcement).

Binance is working closely with law enforcement to track down the hackers responsible for the recent attack on the exchange. Both sides are committed to bringing the perpetrators to justice and ensuring that they are held accountable for their actions. This coordinated effort will help to ensure that future attacks are prevented and that users can feel safe and secure when using
Binance's commitment to helping investors from other ecosystems was praised by one community member, who noted that the exchange's efforts are proactive and selfless. As the biggest crypto exchange by trading volume, Binance's dedication to supporting the wider crypto community is commendable.
“Binance is now playing the role of a big brother in the crypto space. Binance has gone beyond securing its platform to securing the entire crypto ecosystem.”
If Binance's investigation into the KyberSwap hack checks out, investors may be witness to a rare community-driven hack redemption. This would be a great outcome for all involved, and would serve as a testament to the power of the crypto community to self-regulate and protect its own.
I think it's great that CZ is standing up to these false allegations against Binance. It's important to set the record straight and show that Binance is a reputable company. I hope this will help to quash these rumors and restore confidence in the company.
As someone with long-time ties to Chinese entrepreneurs and colleagues, I believe that cooperation between our two countries is essential for continued progress. I am committed to fostering closer relationships and better understanding between our two peoples.
“The greatest challenge that Binance faces today is that we (and every other offshore exchange) have been designated a criminal entity in China. At the same time, our opposition in the west bends over backward to paint us as a ‘Chinese company.’”
It is good to see that Binance has been confirmed as not being legally incorporated in China. This shows that the company is not trying to operate in China illegally and that it is not trying to take advantage of Chinese investors. This is a positive development for the company and for the cryptocurrency industry as a whole.
