Hi,
Binance was hacked for the first time few hours ago.
At first they tweeted this post:

Only maintenance? Funds are SAFU?

After that they explained what happened:

What does it mean for us?
1. The biggest and most trusted exchange was hacked - funds are not safe when you hold them on CEX - finally confirmed by the biggest one.
2. Binance lied and maybe this is not for the first time? Is it really good exchange as we think?
3. Bull market confirmed? Bitcoin price wasn´t affected by this, that doesn´t make any sense, since it is one of the biggest negative news this year! (the view of the centralized exchanges will change completely).

1. that's the risk when it comes to the centralized exchange site and you can't predict if there was a still vulnerability that can be used by the hacker to stole the funds.
2. that's still a good exchange and they said will take all of the responsibility for that. To give back the stolen amount but the hackers are stealing from its hot wallet and the user's funds are still safe. I have opened my account and my balance still there.
3. this case doesn't have any relationship with bitcoin.
