FBI links $6.3 billion Binance crypto heist to North Korean hackers

The FBI attributed the roughly $6.3 billion Binance theft of about 29 October 2026 to North Korea's TraderTraitor (Lazarus Group, Jade Sleet, APT38). Binance traced the breach to a compromised DevOps engineer's laptop that gave access to a service container used to submit unauthorized withdrawals across ten blockchains. The FBI published 628 laundering addresses and linked the group to earlier thefts at Bybit, DMM Bitcoin, Bitget and Drift.

North Korean hackers launder $242 million of Binance loot via Tron as FBI presses THORChain: analyst

The Block reports that North Korean hackers (TraderTraitor) laundered about $242 million of funds stolen from Binance through Tron in two days, according to analyst SomaXBT. Relay, THORChain, Chainflip and Symbiosis moved about $140 million off Tron. Elliptic counts $2.85 billion frozen or seized, 44% of $6.43 billion stolen, and $3.25 billion in assets no issuer can freeze. The FBI urged THORChain and others to block listed addresses.

Alpine Linux rebuilds GitLab after attempted RCE attack

Alpine Linux rebuilt its GitLab server and reset all passwords after attackers tried to exploit CVE-2026-97229, a maximum-severity integer overflow in the Onigmo regex engine bundled with Ruby, on October 20-21. Eight worker crashes occurred and four were partially successful. Missing logs and outbound connection records meant compromise could not be ruled out. Alpine had run GitLab 19.3.4, then 19.3.6, which lacked the Ruby patch; the fixed image is alpinelinux/gitlab:19.3.6 with Ruby 3.3.13.

Binance Replaced 90% of Assets Stolen in the $6.3B Binance Crypto Hack

Report on the $6.3 billion Binance hack of October 2026, which the FBI attributed to North Korea's TraderTraitor unit. Co-CEO Richard Teng said attackers used EIP-7702 to gain execution approval over a hot wallet, after a compromised laptop and further breach points, and used self-destructing malware. Binance replaced 90% of the assets, and the FBI expects further laundering through Ethereum. No IOCs or mitigations are given.

Critical Linux kernel flaw allows remote root attacks on MPTCP servers

CVE-2026-98432 is a use-after-free race condition in the Linux kernel IPv4 TCP code (tcp_v4_syn_recv_sock, ireq_opt), affecting kernels back to 4.4 and rated 9.8 by the kernel CVE team (Red Hat rates it 5.9). Anthropic researchers say an unreleased Claude model built an exploit that bypassed KASLR and got remote root on an MPTCP listener in about 53 minutes. The article lists distro patch status and CIQ's nftables mitigation for IP options; disabling MPTCP alone does not help. No in-the-wild exploitation is reported.

Drupal Commerce Core Vulnerability Exploited Against Online Stores

CVE-2026-118539 is a highly critical access bypass in the Drupal Commerce Core module (over 42,000 sites), exploited in the wild. Unauthenticated attackers can abuse insufficiently protected routes and entity fields, and Drupal rated it 21 out of 25. Fixes are in 3.3.13 and 8.x-2.41, and admins should audit orders. The article also covers 38 other Drupal advisories from 28 October and the 14 October RCE bugs CVE-2026-108097 and CVE-2026-108099.

Drupal warns of critical Commerce Core flaw exploited in attacks

Drupal Commerce Core has a critical missing-authorization flaw, CVE-2026-118539, that unauthenticated attackers exploit in the wild. It affects versions 0.0.0 to 2.41 and 3.0.0 to 3.3.13. Drupal urges upgrading to 3.3.13 (or 8.x-2.41 on the older branch) and auditing orders for inconsistencies. The article also recalls CVE-2026-9082, exploited in May and added to CISA KEV, and two RCE patches (CVE-2026-108097, CVE-2026-108099).

Trezor Warns CryptoBilis Buyers After Report of Hardware Implant in Safe 5

Trezor warned buyers of its wallets from reseller CryptoBilis (March 2026 onward) to move funds, after an Indonesian customer reported a hardware implant in a Safe 5 bought in August 2026. The report describes a board with a cellular module between mainboard and screen that reads the wallet backup and sends it over a mobile network. Trezor has not yet examined the device. It found no tampering in four other CryptoBilis units.

$2 Million+ Drained From Polymarket Traders in New Supply Chain Attack

Polymarket halted trading on 29 October after users reported unauthorized withdrawals traced to malicious JavaScript served from DebugBear's real user monitoring snippet. Hudson Rock's sample abused the authenticated session to sell positions or send tokens to a hard-coded address, without exfiltrating credentials. Loss estimates range from $2.19 million to $2.71 million (GoPlus), and Polymarket pledged reimbursement.

Binance Exploit: Latest Findings and Response

Chainalysis assesses the 29 October 2026 theft of about $6.4 billion from Binance hot wallets as the work of North Korean group TraderTraitor. Attribution rests on on-chain behavior, including real-time commingling with funds from the Bitget exploit, a Tornado Cash-funded operator wallet and signed authorizations that let a hot wallet run attacker code. About $2.8 billion was frozen. Laundering shows automation, with addresses receiving exactly 1 TRX before forwarding funds.

CVE-2026-111585 (CVSS 8.8) is an integer overflow in the remote-control screen processing of TeamViewer clients on Windows, macOS, Linux and Android. A malicious or compromised host can announce an oversized screen surface (for example 32768 by 32768 at 32 bpp), forcing a software decode path and an out-of-bounds write that crashes the viewer or runs code.
