Binance has refuted claims from South Korean media about a delayed response to the Upbit hack on November 27, asserting immediate action to freeze unauthorized funds.

The incident highlights security challenges in cryptocurrency exchanges, revealing potential weaknesses and sparking discussions on regulatory frameworks.

Binance Asserts Immediate Response to Upbit Breach

Binance disputed South Korean media assertions about their reaction time to the Upbit hack. The firm stated that their security team was proactive, countering claims they were ineffective in handling the breach. Binance’s immediate action aimed at limiting potential damages from stolen assets.

Upbit faced a significant breach involving Solana-based assets worth approximately 44.5 billion KRW. In response, Upbit and relevant authorities are reassessing security measures, hinting at future regulatory adjustments in South Korea.

While Binance maintains their timely intervention narrative, there are calls from community members for increased transparency and stricter regulations. The lack of primary-source confirmation fuels ongoing debates across crypto circles.
