TraderTraitor Had About Eight Weeks Inside Binance Before $6.3B Hack, SEAL Estimates

Security Alliance (SEAL) estimates that North Korea-linked TraderTraitor accessed Binance’s environment for about eight weeks before the exchange’s October 29 hack, valued by Binance at $6.3 billion. In a threat analysis , SEAL placed initial access around September and described the group as capable of moving quietly through endpoints and infrastructure for weeks. The eight-week dwell window suggests the attackers had substantial time inside Binance before the theft was executed. The assessment adds context to the breach at Binance , while stopping short of identifying an exact intrusion date.
