#TrumpTariffs #8thanniversary

Binance, care a fost lansat pe 14 iulie 2017, a împlinit acum 8 ani. În acești ani, a devenit mai puternic, trecând prin suișuri și coborâșuri, și astăzi oferă servicii pentru peste 280 de milioane de utilizatori din peste 100 de țări, devenind cea mai mare bursă crypto.

🏴‍☠️ What Happened?
On February 21, 2025, the crypto exchange Bybit was hacked.
Hackers stole about $1.4–$1.5 billion, the biggest crypto heist ever.
Most of the stolen money was:
401,000+ Ethereum (ETH)
Tokens like stETH and mETH
The funds were taken from a cold wallet during a normal transfer.
🧠 How Did the Hack Work?
This was not a simple password hack.
Hackers infected a developer’s computer
They secretly added bad code to Safe Wallet (the wallet Bybit used)
Bybit’s top staff approved a transaction, thinking it was safe
The approval actually gave hackers full control of the wallet
This is called a supply chain attack + social engineering
👉 The system looked normal, but it wasn’t.
🕵️ Who Did It?
The FBI
Blockchain investigators like Chainalysis and TRM Labs
All say the same thing:
➡️ Lazarus Group did it
➡️ A North Korean state-backed hacking group
🏦 What About Bybit Users?
Bybit’s CEO Ben Zhou said:
The exchange is still solvent
Customer funds are safe
Assets are 1:1 backed
To stay stable, Bybit:
Got emergency loans from partners (including Binance)
Launched a bounty program
💰 Up to 10% reward for helping recover stolen funds
🧼 What Did Hackers Do With the Money?
In the first 48 hours, over $160 million was laundered
They used:
Crypto mixers
Decentralized exchanges (DEXs)
By late 2025:
Most stolen $ETH ETH was swapped into Bitcoin (BTC)
Funds were split into thousands of wallets
This made tracking much harder
Big Lesson
Even “secure” systems can fail if:
People trust what looks normal
A single approval gives too much power
Crypto rule #1:
🧠 Don’t just trust the screen — trust the process.
“In conclusion, #Binance has proven to be the most trusted and secure platform so far.”
@YiHe was recently appointed as Co-CEO of Binance (as of December 3, 2025). She now leads the company alongside Richard Teng, who has been the CEO since November 2023.
Changpeng Zhao (@CZ ) remains a co-founder but no longer holds an official executive role. Interestingly, he was pardoned by President Donald Trump in late 2024/early 2025 following his legal settlement with U.S. authorities.
It remains the world's largest cryptocurrency exchange by trading volume, having surpassed 280 million users by its #8thanniversary year.
