Helping investigate a $265,000 hack on decentralized crypto exchange KyberSwap, crypto exchange Binance narrowed down two suspects that seem responsible for the attack. 

On Sept. 1, Kyber Network succumbed to a frontend exploit, allowing the attacker to make away with $265,000 worth of user funds from KyberSwap. While investigations were underway, KyberSwap offered a 10% bounty — of roughly $40,000 — to the hacker as means to remediate the situation.

Parallelly, based on an independent investigation, Binance’s security team identified two suspects that may be responsible for orchestrating the virtual heist. Binance CEO Changpeng 'CZ' Zhao confirmed that the intel had been sent to the Kyber team.

Binance has also begun coordinating with law enforcement as efforts from both ends continue to corner the hackers.

Being the biggest crypto exchange in terms of trading volume, Binance’s proactive and selfless effort to help investors from other ecosystems didn’t go unnoticed, as one of the community members окшогон:

“Binance is now playing the role of a big brother in the crypto space. Binance has gone beyond securing its platform to securing the entire crypto ecosystem.”

If Binance’s investigation checks out, KyberSwap investors may be witness to a rare community-driven hack redemption.

CZ recently retaliated against rumors and false allegations that Binance was a Chinese-based “criminal entity” that “secretly [belongs] in the pocket of the Chinese government.”

While explaining his long-time ties to Chinese entrepreneurs and colleagues, he added:

«Бүгүнкү күндө Binance туш болгон эң чоң кыйынчылык - бул биз (жана башка оффшордук биржалар) Кытайда кылмыштуу уюм катары аныкталган. Ошол эле учурда батыштагы оппозициябыз бизди «кытайлык компания» катары көрсөтүү үчүн артка ийилип жатат».

CZ confirmed that Binance has never been legally incorporated in China and never operated like a Chinese company culturally either.
