Binance Co-Founder He Yi: Team First Detected the Anomaly and Activated Emergency Re

Binance co-founder He Yi said the exchange's emergency response mechanism was activated after internal staff detected an anomaly, with relevant departments on 24-hour duty; colleagues identified the issue first and began handling it before she learned of it via X and joined the response. Her comments, made on November 1, were a correction to a Wu Says Blockchain report on the Binance hack that had claimed she initially discovered the anomaly through X. The clarification matters because it addresses questions about the speed and internal handling of the security incident at one of the world's largest crypto exchanges. Watch for further disclosures from Binance on the scope of the breach, affected user funds, and any compensation plans.
