so far Binance is very safe in my opinion, so far I have not found any serious problems in Binance. But you should always be careful, always reading the latest news is a good thing
Centralized exchanges(Binance) looks very safe as you've stated above until something goes wrong without any form of warning. Binance is very good for trading but in the aspect of storage it is advised not to keep your cryptos in exchanges. I'm afraid the news won't be able to help if anything goes wrong.
