Binance wants to prevent the future attacks

In the statement, Binance emphasizes the importance of preventing crime and inappropriate behavior inside the crypto community: “To ensure a safe crypto community, we can’t simply play defense. We need to actively prevent any instances of hacking before they occur, as well as follow through after-the-fact. Even though the hacking attempt against Binance on March 7th was not successful, it was clear it was a large-scale, organized effort. This needs to be addressed.”

$ 10 million for future bounty awards

For future possible attacks, the Binance crypto exchange has allocated $ 10 million in a crypto repository in order to reward new users who will help to investigate the incidents.

“Binance has currently allocated the equivalent of $10,000,000 USD in crypto reserves for future bounty awards against any illegal hacking attempts on Binance. We have also invited other exchanges and crypto businesses to join our initiative. We welcome their participation at any time.”

Binance isn’t at its first involving in hacker attacks. However, the crypto exchange doesn’t cease to improve the services they offer. The biggest priority for them is to protect the users’ funds.
