United StatesBinance found more breach points than the one laptop it blamed.
Bitcoin fell to a six-week low of $76,368 and customers cannot withdraw while Binance traces the attackers.
Attackers emptied wallets on 10 blockchains in about 20 minutes, and TRM Labs ties them to North Korea’s TraderTraitor unit.
Binance says it has frozen about $3bn of the $6.3bn, but has not said where the other $3.3bn went.
Co-CEO Yi He says withdrawals should resume by Sunday.
