The screenshot says the exchange will be ready in less than 12 hours. But John Mcafee insists the exchange is hacked. https://twitter.com/officialmcafee/status/961662107786899456

Just stop believing in anything McAfee says.
He is a full fledged shiller now..
Binance has posted on twitter and reddit about their maintenance and upgrades and believe me such things takes time. Lets just sit and wait till we get back to trade.
meanwhile, they were opening a window for people to cancel there orders. This would not be possible if it was hacked.

I think biance is fine, I truly believe that if there was an issue, they would alert the public. They have good business practices and are strong with their communication. I trust they will be just fine and continue with their growth shortly after reopening trading.

He said 'rumors' so It shouldn't be taken seriously but I wouldn't be surprised If that was the case, as he have contacts with Jihan Wu who may have people from inside Binance. With that being sad, It will take more then a hack to take Binance down, the trading volume is on billions and they are making millions daily, even If they got hacked, they could easily refund their users.

Nope, this is official statement about that it has not been hacked: https://twitter.com/cz_binance/status/961647955965915136

Please read it. It seems fair for me. Maybe it's just a technical problem. No reason to be panicked right now.

Mcaffee could be right. I have never seen a maintenance that happens without announcement to the users and why would it take about 12 hrs for an upgrade or maintenance. It is either Binance has been hacked or they detected a flaw in their system. We will know in due time

if we look at the argument there, it seems that no serious problems are happening and I suspect that the offical account mcafee la is being hacked.

the binance site has been overloaded because its users are getting more and the system should be upgraded. this is a reasonable problem, because if there is no maintenance and not repaired, then the binary site may go down.

John was misinformed and he has confirmed the same tweeting about about that to the binance tweet. Just make sure that you should not keep coins that are meant for long term hold at exchanges.

McAfee is not even claiming that they are hacked. He is just throwing the rumor out there, that there are screenshots being circulated (where?) which are possibly shopped, which may or may not indicate that binance was hacked. It's not even a statement, he's just saying something for having said something. I have no idea what his purpose is.

He loves the limelight and people talking about him? If there's one thing that can be said for sure about Mr McAfee it is that, he delights in attention.

Take a look at the official Binance response to McAfee and check out their BTC and ETH addresses. I'm sure now that it didn't been hacked. McAfee has become a FUD producer just to make a panic.

i think its false, and if you saw a tweet the below in their tweet like this


and take a look the official account of binance is https://twitter.com/binance_2017/
but if you take a look at the bottom that account is just a fake account https://twitter.com/blinance_2017 it contais small Letter of L
and that fake account already collected more than 3 ETH

I don't really care about what John McAfee said Smiley). He's delivering FUD to all other traders. LOL. He's received money to tweet like that, IMO. And it's not the only tweet that he tweet for money. I'm still waiting till the end of 2020 to see he eats his own dick on TV when Bitcoin price still doesn't reach to 1m$. LOL
