Ukrainian authorities say 26 people have been killed in Russian bomb attacks on an aid distribution center and neighboring shelter in southern Ukraine. The attacks came after a limited ceasefire expired Monday in Ukraine’s southern Kherson region. The ceasefire agreement between Ukraine and Russia had allowed humanitarian aid and evacuation missions into front-line areas in Russian-occupied territory. Earlier in the day, Ukraine and Russia reported cyberattacks on their emergency alert apps. In Ukraine, users received false warnings of dangerously high radiation levels, a chemical threat and public disturbances in Kyiv. Russian officials said hackers had sent fake alerts through its emergency ministry’s app.

The FBI says the billions of dollars stolen from Binance within minutes in the biggest crypto heist in history was orchestrated by North Korean hackers. The bureau says this week's attack was tied to “malicious cyber activity” by an entity known as TraderTraitor. That same entity behind a $1.5 billion Bybit hack last year. The FBI said Saturday that it is advising crypto exchanges, blockchain analytics companies and others to block transactions tied to certian addresses to keep the money from being laundered further. Later Saturday night, President Donald Trump said authorities were still learning about the case, however, and added, “We don't know if it was North Korea.”
Binance, the world’s biggest cryptocurrency exchange, says hackers stole more than $6 billion in what appears to be the largest cryptocurrency heist on record. Blockchain firms have pointed to the attack coming from a North Korean hacking unit. The company said it has reserved more than $6.34 billion of company funds to cover the stolen assets and was beginning to recover assets for users. Binance worked with blockchain partners to freeze roughly $3 billion in affected assets. The cryptocurrency exchange has promised to cover all losses, and it has been sharing regular updates on its social media channels as it uncovers more information about the hack.
Binance, the world's largest cryptocurrency exchange, is investigating a potential security issue that appears to be a hack. The company said late Thursday the estimated total impact was at roughly $6.3 billion, which could be one of the most significant such security incidents on record. The extent of the damage is unclear, but stablecoin issuers froze funds Thursday evening. Binance assures users their funds are safe and is reviewing information urgently. Stablecoin providers Tether and Circle froze significant amounts in response to the incident. Binance founder Changpeng Zhao, who stepped down as CEO after pleading guilty to a felony, said user funds are safe but acknowledged the situation looks like a hack. Bitcoin's price dropped 3.2% Thursday evening.
