Fellow Binancians,
On 2025-12-27, the Flow (FLOW) network experienced a significant security breach. A hacker exploited the system and minted a significant amount of tokens.
Upon learning of the incident, Binance acted swiftly to protect our users and the broader community. Our team traced and successfully froze the hacker’s remaining funds on our platform. These actions were taken to minimize damage and safeguard the interests of Flow token holders.
We want to emphasize the following key points regarding this incident and our ongoing engagement with the Flow project team:
Despite multiple attempts by Binance to reach out and offer support to the Flow project team, there has been no meaningful communication or collaboration from their side since the hack happened.
If the project team decides to proceed with an isolated recovery solution to remediate the hack, it is critical that centralized exchange (CEX) addresses, such as Binance’s wallets, are excluded from this recovery process since affected users on various CEX platforms have already been credited accordingly.
We also urge the Flow project team to provide a detailed post-mortem report explaining the root cause of the hack and the measures they will implement to prevent similar incidents in the future. Binance is ready to offer security support if needed to help strengthen the Flow ecosystem’s defenses.
To our valued users, please be assured that Binance is committed to supporting any users affected by this incident. We will work diligently to provide the necessary assistance to help protect your assets and maintain your trust.
We remain committed to transparency and will keep you updated as this situation evolves.
Thank you for your support!
