ANKARA, Nov 4 (OPA) — Cryptocurrency exchange Binance released its preliminary incident report on Wednesday detailing the aftermath of the Oct. 29 security breach. The company assured users that all financial damages resulting from the attack would be fully absorbed by the platform, preventing any user-side losses.

According to Binance, funds exceeding the total required amount were immediately allocated to cover the deficit. By Nov. 3, exactly 98% of the impacted token assets were fully replenished. Users can independently verify these reserves through the exchange's official Proof of Reserves portal.

In the wake of the breach, Binance implemented a series of emergency mitigation protocols. The company sealed unauthorized entry points, rebuilt compromised system architectures, intensified endpoint security checks, and expanded AI-driven anomaly detection models across its wallet infrastructure.

Binance confirmed it is withholding certain technical specifics to prevent malicious actors from exploiting vulnerabilities in future attacks. The exchange continues to collaborate with independent cybersecurity firms for a comprehensive forensic review, promising further updates as investigations progress.
