BNB Smart Chain Resumes Operations After Major Exploit, $100M in Crypto Drained

Initial token movements suggested that up to 2 million BSC tokens, worth roughly $570 million at the time, were targeted by an attacker late Thursday, but Binance CEO Changpeng Zhao estimated in a tweet the attacker was only able to get away with $100 million of that. BNB Chain also tweeted that $7 million of that amount was already frozen. "The Hash" discusses the implications of cross-chain security and decentralization, and what this suggests about the future of the crypto ecosystem.
