Posts like this is one of the problems of crypto.  Everyone panics which is somewhat understandable... but they want to share their panic with the world.

I imagine if it was hacked, we'd be hearing a lot more from people in the actual know as opposed to just hearsay...|


Just maintenance, everything requires it from time to time.

First of all, McAfee is huge shiller, i stoped following him long time ago, it just doesnt make sense. On the other hand its wierd that binance really went off like that without prior announcement, because it is one of the biggest exchanges right now, so they should be working like the best do, always transparent, we might wait and see what happens but there are small chances that it was hacked right now, its not impossible, just not likely in this case maybe

I mean, seeing the warning without knowing anything beforehand always causes that fear of the platform being hacked. STILL, after 20 seconds of research you'll realize what was going on. Glad to know they are working around the clock to fix this.

Best of luck to them!

I really dont think that they were hacked but even if they did those who did it are probably dead buy now and business will continue soon as ussual.Its probably just a overload from all new accounts

This update is taking longer than expected, but they communicate on Twitter and also provided btc and eth address for proof.. so I think is not about a scam but just the big amount of data.. Anyway we are gonna see soon at 4am

A lot of services go on extended maintenances, i recognize people immediately jump to the conclusion of hax because of all the stories the crypto world has. But chill people please.

The screenshot says the exchange will be ready in less than 12 hours. But John Mcafee insists the exchange is hacked. https://twitter.com/officialmcafee/status/961662107786899456

Binance is not hacked. All the rumors about the hacking of this exchange are a deception for the purpose of manipulating the market. This is another attempt to throw bitcoin to the bottom. Do not believe these rumors. I am sure that the exchange will soon begin to work after the maintenance.

Everyone was scared haha. It seems like there is nothing wrong with Binance right now. There are too many speculations when it comes to being hacked. That’s why ledger is so important  Grin

Mcafee is really trying to be a relevant person in this game, i hope he stops with all these fud. Let the binance team do their job and i'm pretty sure no one will lose coins there, a big exchange will not jeopardize their reputation by making lies to the public.

Thank god. I am getting a "system maintenance" flag when I try to trade. They should be more clear, but glad to see it's nothing major.

if Binance was hacked, they would not have dared to show the world their blockchain wallets.

For those who are experienced in IT.. you would know that delay in system upgrades is not uncommon.

Especially for complex systems such as an exchange software. I rather they take their time than to rush and

be hacked later due to a human error.

For those guys who get worried when such a small delay occur, they are the ones who sell at the slightest

bad news and will never make the kind of 100x profits...be patient

Don't believe anyone knows for sure, though more so curious as to whatever sources said this was a hack.

Of course not. Binance simply carries out the modernization of the system that will last some time. Do not panic.

Please don't just believe by reading other sources news information. It's better to check the official site directly to avoid miss understanding. That fake news also worried me earlier  Grin

I think they was down due unplanned maintenance.. but we will understand very soon. If withdraws continue to be fast and flawless, then everything is OK. If they were hacked.. this will hit the whole market, because Binance is currently the best exchange.

That sucks but it looks mcafee's twitter gets another hacked again lol
rather than mcafee and i was believing in binance update. Binance has so many users on the platform and it may become real concern right now.

People are just speculating too much and too worrying about the hacking event of an exchange, maybe they just got traumatised by Mt.Gox while I'm here, even if the exchange is hacked it won't harm me because I always saving my assets in my own cold storage or paper wallet.
However, if this exchange turns out to be "really" hacked and getting closed down, there will always appear a new exchange just as you see, so many exchanges trying to compete with these.

Everytime you read "Mcafee said blablabla" this should cause doubt in your mind . Binance is very secure exchange , of course it doen't mean that it couldn't be hacked , but they wouldn't hide such information under the guise of tech works

This is a very critical moment, not only for people who is holding funds at Binance, but for all the cryptoworld, since a hack of Binance in such a delicate moment would sent Bitcoin's price to hell.
