Binance’s initial report, published on 3 November, says a malicious recruitment assignment and a compromised internal AI tool helped attackers reach its wallet systems before the 29 October theft. The investigation remains open.
Solana passed roughly 1,000 days since its last full network halt on 2 November. The milestone concerns the validator cluster continuing to produce blocks; it does not mean every app, connection or transaction worked without interruption.
RTGS.global announced on 3 November that eligible clients can access AMINA Bank’s Swiss-regulated services through its network. Swiss-franc and euro accounts are available initially alongside digital wallets; dollar and sterling accounts are planned.
