After what happened, the famous on-chain analyst ZachXBT also stated that he thought a European company or government institution was also hacked and approximately 106 million dollars of USDT and USDC were stolen.
The attack continues: "They are hiding it"
The famous analyst made another post on the subject today. "In addition to yesterday's attack, I detected a new central exchange withdrawal of $ 27 million. The total loss increased to $ 133 million," the analyst said.
ZachXBT also claimed that if the necessary explanations were made, at least this last loss could be frozen and the new attack of hackers could be prevented:
"After my first statement, there were other stock market withdrawals. My findings are that a large Western European financial institution was hacked... Currently, the incident is kept secret. It is not disclosed. For this reason, there was an additional loss of 30 million dollars. EU law enforcement could have frozen this money if the necessary explanation had been made."

After the $6.3 billion hack attack on the Binance exchange last week, Changpeng Zhao stated in his YouTube interview with Coindesk that artificial intelligence should be integrated into cyber defense systems, more attacks will come and the traditional financial world is also under threat.

Half of the approximately 15,000 BTC in the SAFU fund, established in 2018, was used in four transactions on October 31 to compensate for reserves lost in last week's hack.

Blockchain analysis company Elliptic announced that the Binance hacker started laundering 28 BTC using the CoinJoin mixer method. The hacker converted the stolen TRX and ETH into BTC and sent them to the mixing process.

It was claimed that artificial intelligence and social engineering tactics were used in the latest Binance attack, reportedly carried out by the North Korean TraderTraitor group.

Following the Binance hack attack on Thursday evening, some people asked for help and used a money laundering tactic by sending small amounts of BTC to the hacker's Bitcoin wallets.

Following the cyber attack on Binance, Binance TR announced that it temporarily stopped cryptocurrency withdrawals as a precaution, stating that user assets are safe.
