Binance warn of a possible of another wave of crypto attack

[asriloni]

The main point is that to never "trust anything". The phishing related scam happened when someone was dumb enough to believe in something. So the easy solution to withdraw the money by yourself, then storing it to the non connected device, which is significantly reduce the chance for your wallet to be compromised.

An awareness from Binance is fine, but the better they focus on their own exchange. They get hacked once, but it's also possible they also get hacked for 2nd times. The better to withdraw your money, then save it by yourself.

Holding your asset on Binance is meaning you trust them your asset. Who knows they get another hack, yet unable to recover, then your money stuck there.

"Not your key, Not your coin". You have been warned storing all of your money on CEX ain't safe by Binance hack case, kinda dumb if you're still doing it after hacked experience.

Those who are waiting to withdraw their assets from Binance are warned of another possible wave of crypto theft, and this time against Binance users. We don't know if Binance just wants people to delay or abandon withdrawing their assets, but these warnings are worth checking to avoid becoming a victim.

Will you withdraw your assets or abandon the idea of withdrawing them because of this warning?

In a Nov. 2 security advisory, the exchange said fraudsters could take advantage of its phased withdrawal reopening by impersonating Binance representatives and offering customers assistance with delayed transactions, compensation claims and asset recovery.

The warning covers fraudulent emails, direct messages, group chats and even small cryptocurrency transfers carrying malicious instructions.

According to Binance, scammers may promise to speed up pending withdrawals, sell customers priority access to withdrawal queues, or instruct them to transfer their holdings into supposedly secure wallets.

Binance warns of second wave of crypto theft as $6.3 billion hack recovery continues

not your keys not your assets as they say. The most logical thing to do is to withdraw all your crypto and keep it on either on software or hardware wallets (hardware is better).

I thought that another massive attack directly going to hit binance's hot wallet. But if this a warning for the users, I think everyone is very careful of how they shall keep their accounts and the practice on how they browse the internet. If there are unwanted links, promos and other attractive messages that are coming after the users, it's best to not entertain any of them. A basic measure will keep them away from these potential threats and harms of falling to the phishing attacks. And it's not only binance should have been specific to this but almost every platform that have a data leak before.

I was a little alarmed too when I saw the topic, I thought that Binance was warning it's customers about another possible attack to hack their exchange but I was relieved when I saw that it is as a warning against scammers, they did well to share their observations. Like you said it is also important for account holders in other platforms that have been breached to take note because if scammers can target Binance account holders after the hack nothing stops them from doing the same to other platforms that were also recently hacked. Make sure to verify any emails that are sent to you in the name of these platforms or their officials, also social media platforms like telegram are not a good place to get authentic information, there are too many scammers out there.

One line in that advisory is easy to skip: "small cryptocurrency transfers carrying malicious instructions". In practice those small transfers come in two kinds.

The first one carries text: a token named like a website, or a memo telling you to claim compensation somewhere. It only works if you follow it.

The second one carries nothing, and it is the more dangerous one. A bot sees your withdrawal arrive, creates an address with the same first and last characters as yours, and sends you 0 or a few cents from it. Now a look-alike address sits in your history, and the next time you copy "your" address from there, you pay the attacker.

This has already happened with a Binance withdrawal. In December 2025 a trader moved almost 50M USDT off Binance, sent a 50 USDT test first, and 26 minutes later sent the rest to a look-alike address copied from history. The test transfer was what told the bot which address to imitate.

So when withdrawals reopen, take the destination from the wallet's Receive screen or the exchange whitelist, never from history, and compare the middle characters, not only the ends.

Like it was happening even there was no binance hack. And that's why we're alert on this type of attack even before but, still, it's a good reminder that they're giving to their users. Because maybe not all have been aware of such possible attacks directly on their users due to the leakage of the data or whatever has been taken from them aside from the huge pool of funds that was stolen on them.

Make sure to verify any emails that are sent to you in the name of these platforms or their officials, also social media platforms like telegram are not a good place to get authentic information, there are too many scammers out there.

Don't click on any links from emails, always go directly to the website if you know it. Telegram and other apps have usual scammers that are only waiting for their victims to fall for their message tricks.

Cyber attacks are now increasingly massive, about the warning from Binance it makes sense that they need to be alert to new waves of hacking attacks even though what we encounter more often is phishing and malware present on their computers.

Binance is becoming suspicious every single day, and ever since the recent hack the exchange has made it to the top of the lists of arguments in the crypto community, many questions about the previous one, which also struck me is the reason behind Binance move of $6.3 billion to their hot wallets, while, they usually allow a few hundred millions in the hot wallet, and kept 90% of user funds in cold wallet? They're numerous conspiracy going on right now about this hack and the trouble keeps on growing and escalating.

This is a stern warning Binance is sending to its customers. I am sure every other exchange will do the same for their customers to be aware of the possible theft before it happens to them, as they will all be in a hurry to withdraw their assets.

As for this notice, it will not stop those who want to withdraw their assets from withdrawing. The only thing is that they will be on the lookout for what is stated below

fraudulent emails, direct messages, group chats and even small cryptocurrency transfers carrying malicious Instructions

These warnings are helpful for users making withdrawals, but I don’t think it makes much sense to delay a withdrawal just because of this warning. Even if this hack hadn’t happened, scammers could still have defrauded users using these methods. Users must always be vigilant. If there’s anyone who needs to be more careful against scammers, it’s Binance itself, in my opinion. That’s why if we were to draft a warning message and present it to them, we’d be establishing a more appropriate approach...

That’s true, with or without the hacks, scammers can do their job to defraud people through different means which phishing attacks is inclusive through phishing links, the warnings are actually helpful, but that should not stop or delay withdrawals. Now that everything is back normal, I just hope many of us especially the beginners have learned from this hack. It teaches a lot lessons which if you carefully study them will help us in our crypto journey. We should not always rely on centralized exchanges, we should just use them to buy swap and sell, then maybe trade for traders, so that if such hacks happens, you can not panic anymore b cause some of us don’t have any storage apart from that if centralized exchanges.

Well, conspiracies are everywhere, all stemming from one core theory: that CZ remains a "shadow CEO" of Binance, still entangled in geopolitics. In fact, there was one specific tweet that convinced me the recovery process would be handled much faster than in the case of a minor hacking incident.

ALERT: Someone predicted back in June that Binance would be hacked in “2026 or 2027.”

Will you withdraw your assets or abandon the idea of withdrawing them because of this warning?

Of course, there will be many scam attempts. So many fake Binance representative will emerge to help users about their withdrawals since there is congested withdrawal.

A friend ask me few days ago, to send my binance UID so his friend can send me USDT for Fiat, since Binance is not enabling them to withdraw to external wallet but allow internal transfer.

If I was a scammer, I would've accepted and never return Fiat. So many scammers will leverage on this opportunity to steal many people funds.
