Last thing Binance devops engineer saw before funds started moving
Binance's initial investigation suggests that the security incident may involve a compromised DevOps engineer’s laptop, which allowed an attacker to gain access to a service container and submit unauthorized withdrawal transactions. We have found no evidence of any wallet private key leak. We will share a detailed technical post-mortem once the investigation is complete and the facts are fully verified.
The estimated total impact sits at around $6.3B. We have worked with blockchain partners to freeze affected assets, with ~$3 billion frozen on-chain so far.
Binance will cover all losses from the SAFU fund and the company’s funds. User funds are safe. We will also publish an updated Proof of Reserves once the remediation is complete.
As an immediate precaution, Binance has:
- temporarily suspended deposits and withdrawals while security checks are completed;
- revoked the affected address authorisation;
- engaged law enforcement and blockchain intelligence partners to trace and recover funds.
Our teams are working around the clock to resolve this issue safely and thoroughly. We are working closely with our law enforcement partners to confirm the identity of these criminals and bring them to justice.
Please rely only on official Binance channels for updates. Please feel free to contact Binance Customer Support if you have any further questions.

Only women in this entire clip of Scottish parliament - not sure they'd all pass the Rowling woman test tbh.
Apparently, and uncannily, androgynoi play a key role in the plot of Aristophanes' Ecclesiazusae.
I should probably finally read it. For the humour if nothing else.

... If your enemies win they will destroy your nation rather than risk ever losing again. Those are absolutely obviously the stakes.

In 2026 people are still having debates about Western politics as if the median Westerner is a hotheaded 23-year-old who just got out of the army and wants to be a landowner rather than a 43-year-old female bureaucrat with a master's degree and one autistic child out of wedlock.
Ok I was wrong it took like six hours not six months lol

This guy embodies one of the most popular archetypes used to bully white men throughout the world. Yet after being attacked, he gets back up, stands his ground, and faces his attackers to defend whatever remains of his store.
His attackers, meanwhile, behave like a pack of hyenas. Whatever bravery they have is only because of their numbers and their de facto anonymity — police wouldn’t arrest them anyway.
So, the guy who looks like the punchline of a thousand jokes actually displays more honor in a single moment than literally the entire recorded history of his attackers.
He has no crowd to hide behind, no numerical advantage, and seemingly very little left to protect. What has happened to him will either be ignored or excused as having been caused by some kind of socio-economic problem which is ultimately his fault anyway. Nevertheless, he stands there.
I would take one thousand Jacques Blacks before taking a single refugee.

Im voting straight Republican.
Becuase the other side pretty clearly has wanted to to throw me in a camp for my political beliefs for at least 5 years now.

Monthly reminder that in the last Narnia book, the king of Narnia is tied to a tree helpless while his people are slaughtered by brown devil worshippers from the south who were let into the country by an Atheist Monkey who tricks everyone by using a SKINSUIT of their religion.

J’ai entendu dire que la France était finie, qu’il était trop tard pour la sauver.
Mais la France est toujours aussi belle, enviable même. Sa grandeur n’a pas disparu, elle ne demande qu’à renaître.
Nous avons surmonté en un an un problème cent fois plus grave, sans avoir les moyens dont dispose la France.
La France pourrait y arriver en une semaine.
I have yet to see a WWII movie that depicts the effects of phosphorus weapons deployed by the allies.
The bombing of London is easier to portray, and not just because it was perpetrated by the enemy
