How much was hacked from Binance bridge?
$568 million was hacked from Binance, which mitigated the hack by shutting down the Binance chain. Of the half a billion dollars worth of hacked Binance coins, the Binance team confirms $100m+ was stolen as a result of an on-chain hack. Of the $100m+ small sum of $7 million was frozen.
How did the hacker prepare for the Binance hack?
Before the hack, the BNB bridge exploiter registered as a relayer for this bridge
For some reason, he was using the same block from two years agoThe question is how did the exploiter validate a Merkle proof that he initiated a large deposit in one of the extremely old blocks?
The hacker verified that the exploiter funded address using

This is serious blow to the reputation of Binance, not only were they notified of the hack, this is quite possibly the biggest hack that has occurred in the crypto space. Binance is usually the one calling out for others' safety but the complete opposite happened in this hack.
What message did the Binance hacker provide?

This is serious blow to the reputation of Binance, not only were they notified of the hack, this is quite possibly the biggest hack that has occurred in the crypto space. Binance is usually the one calling out for others' safety but the complete opposite happened in this hack.
What message did the Binance hacker provide?

"I don't believe you because you are not sincere. I only exploited eth and bsc chains. If I attack other chains like FTM, TRON, POLYGON, I believe I can get $100 million. With reference to past Nomad and Wintermule events, I should get a higher bounty than what I get now. It's hard not to suspect that this is your official backdoor, and you should be happy that the exploit was done by me and no one else"
The hacker's message confirmed that the hack can easily be emulated in other blockchains, but he chose to only target Binance and critiqued that the weakness or features of the weakness which resulted in the hack could very well be designed by Binance as an official backdoor. The message seems very personally directed at CZ of Binance.
