SlowMist CISO suggests investigating the Binance theft incident around the private key leakage chain and abnormal withdrawal tools.

PANews October 30 news: 23pds, Chief Information Security Officer of SlowMist, posted: "Regarding Binance's one-time asset theft incident this time, combined with historical forensic experience, the attacker was able to bypass the risk control system. Whether its intrusion path was private key leakage or the signing machine being compromised still needs to be confirmed as a priority. I personally lean more toward the hypothesis of private key leakage. In addition, the attacker most likely used customized withdrawal tools. It is recommended that the security department, during traceability and forensics, focus on conducting in-depth investigation around the private key leakage chain and the characteristics of the anomalous withdrawal tools."
