The Binance hack is a lesson about access
What is confirmed, what is not, and why it matters to anyone running AI agents.
TRM Labs estimates about $6.36B left Binance wallets on 29 October. Binance says it will cover all user losses. Attribution to North Korea comes from analytics firms, and Binance and authorities have not confirmed it.
Access is the weak point
Binance says its first findings point to an engineer's laptop. The full technical account is not out, so any detailed explanation today is a theory.
What this means for AI agents
Agents often hold long-lived keys to do their work. Give each one only the access it needs, make credentials expire, and require a person to approve anything that moves money or deletes data.
