Mubasher: One of the world’s biggest digital currency exchanges has got $41 million worth of bitcoin stolen by hackers, the latest in a series of thefts from cryptocurrency exchanges worldwide, Reuters reported.

More than 7,000 bitcoin were stolen from global crypto exchange Binance by hackers who used a string of techniques, “including phishing, viruses and other attacks,” CEO Zhao Changpeng was quoted by the news agency as saying on the exchange’s website.

In addition, other digital currency exchanges, including Coinbase, blocked deposits from addresses linked to the crypto heist, Zhao said via Twitter.

It is worth noting that $950 million of digital currencies was stolen from crypto exchanges and infrastructure services, including wallets, according to a research by US-based cyber security firm CiptherTrace.

Japanese and South Korean exchanges accounted for 58% of last year’s heists, the research found.

All deposits and withdrawals from Binance would remain on hold, as the exchange would conduct a thorough security review, which would likely take a week, Zhao said.
