Some of you already know this, but I was the primary target of today’s Binance hack. My cryptocurrency holdings totaling $2.2B were stolen, and I am now back to having a regular amount of money.

Not a fan of cryptocurrency, but this attack is a canary in the coal mine for the cybersecurity of the financial sector as a whole.
The binance hack is for more than $6 billion, people at TRM Labs and Chainalysis (big blockchain analysis companies) tell me. Far and away the biggest crypto theft in history. TRM saying it's North Korea. Others in the space who aren't saying that are also working w that assumption.
