Article says $100M. Why does the title here say $600M? $100M crypto thefts are like every other Thursday, right?

  $100M has been siphoned off to other chains before binance could pause the chain. Those funds are lost. 500M can be recovered.

    > $100M has been siphoned off to other chains before binance could pause the chain. Whew! Imagine how bad it could’ve been if it were decentralized.

what a huge hack, especially given that prices are already down 60% or more

I left binance and staked my crypto instead. Binance customer service does not exist and their website and app are broken.

  I sold my crypto, there is no point of yet an another alt coin.

  This seems to be common issue with crypto exchanges. Coinbase support is non-existent too.

I wanted to buy a VPN so I needed some crypto. Decided to make an account on Binance, three days ago. - They wouldn’t accept my email+binance@provider.com address; - They wanted to verify my ID and told me I’d take 10 days; - I decided to go on another exchange and finished everything up in like 5 minutes; - Binance has been spamming me since to complete my verification, with no ‘unsubscribe’ button. How the hell did people hold their life savings in this dump?
