Binance users withdraw $3.6bn after largest-ever crypto hack

Binance customers withdrew $3.6bn (£2.7bn) of assets from the world's biggest cryptocurrency exchange as it reopened on Sunday following what is believed to be the largest hack in history.

The firm suspended all transactions in the wake of the incident, which impacted $6.3bn worth of digital assets.

Major organisations, including the US Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), have accused North Korea of being responsible for the cyber-attack.

The company said it has covered around 95% of the assets stolen in the breach but the remaining amount may take longer to source. Binance has repeatedly said it would cover all of the losses linked to the attack.
