The disk (or server associated with it) was probably an essential part of their system. Looks like the website was up, but trades weren't going through. It looks plausible for me, so I'm not going to grab my tin foil hat for that. What else could have happened? Some people are saying some "hacker" did that, but why? And if funds are #safu, why does it matter?

paranoia from last month's hack i presume. everybody's still on their toes. i guess some people are speculating that an "intruder" in their system was detected which prompted the site being taken offline. people are probably worried that if the site is compromised again so soon, the insurance fund binance set up will have been depleted, leading to account haircuts.

i won't lie, my heart jumped a bit when i saw threads about this. it wouldn't kill me to lose what's in my binance account, but it would certainly sting.

I was very shocked when I heard the news of Binance being hacked, and there was a coincidence at that time, I was just having some discussions with my friends and we were discussing on some exchanges that they use, they all mentioned there exchanges and I also mentioned mine which was Binance.

We discussed about security and almost got into heated argument when I made a statement that hackers may hack all other exchanges, but it will be impossible for them to hack Binance even in 100 years time, while my friend mentioned one exchange as DOBI being the most secured exchange, the following day of our argument was when I heard that Binance was hacked, I was dumbfounded and could even face my fiends again.
