Cryptocurrency exchange Binance has shared its initial findings regarding the cyberattack that targeted its system last week and was linked to a $6.3 billion heist.
According to the company's initial assessments, the attack did not stem from a single security vulnerability or a simple phishing attempt.
The findings indicate that the incident was part of a multi-stage and sophisticated campaign.
While it is noted that the FBI has pointed to North Korea in the investigation into the attack, the incident has brought discussions regarding security measures and the resilience of exchange infrastructures back to the forefront of the cryptocurrency market.
The initial findings released by Binance show that investigations into the technical dimensions of the attack are ongoing.
The company is expected to share new details regarding the process in the coming days.
