Gate founder and CEO Dr. Han: A comprehensive investigation of the platform has been completed, and the flow of funds related to the hacker will be frozen

The founder and CEO of the cryptocurrency trading platform Gate, Han Lin, posted on X stating that Gate was not affected by the security incident that night. The security team has completed a comprehensive inspection, user asset security is intact, and deposits, withdrawals, and trading are all operating normally, with on-chain reserves verifiable at any time.

Han Lin stated that Gate stands with Binance, which is responding to the incident. The platform has added the involved addresses to a tracking list, and any related funds that flow in will be immediately frozen, with the security team on standby to provide assistance. He also mentioned that the industry has come this far through collective efforts, and all parties should work together to build and safeguard.

Previously, Binance stated that the security incident on its platform affected approximately $6.3 billion in assets, with about half already frozen with assistance from other platforms, and it claimed it would cover all losses. Preliminary checks indicate that the incident may be related to an engineer's laptop being compromised, allowing the attacker to make unauthorized withdrawals, and Binance is cooperating with law enforcement to confirm the identities of the individuals involved.
