Professional security guidance has been provided for the traceability investigation of the Binance theft incident.<p>Combined with past security forensics experience, SlowMist Chief Information Security Officer 23pds pointed out that in this one-time Binance asset theft incident, the attacker was able to bypass the platform's risk control system. At present, it is still critical to confirm whether the intrusion path stems from private key leakage or a compromised signing machine, and he personally leans toward the private key leakage hypothesis.</p><p>The security expert also assessed that the attacker most likely used a customized withdrawal tool to complete the asset transfer operation.</p><p>For subsequent traceability and forensics work, he recommended that the platform's security department focus its core investigation efforts on mapping the full chain of private key leakage, as well as identifying and tracing the characteristics of abnormal withdrawal tools, to more efficiently locate the attack source and recover the stolen assets.</p>
