  • A Binance user lost about $1 million in a security breach while the hacker executed counter-trading techniques.
  • Binance asserts that the victim’s personal computer was hacked, and the platform cannot provide compensation.
  • The exchange also states that it processed the user’s request to freeze his account within 1 minute and 19 seconds.

In a recent X post, a Binance user, Nakamao identified himself as a “victim of an undercover agent,” claiming to have lost $1 million due to a security breach. The user alleged that the exploit was carried out by a malicious Chrome plugin that used counter-trading techniques to drain his account.

Nakamao shared his harrowing experience of the hack and expressed his despair at Binance’s alleged lack of response. He stated, “During the whole process, I did not receive any security reminders from Binance.”
