Binance Blog published a new article, addressing a significant security breach on the Flow (FLOW) network that occurred on 2025-12-27. A hacker exploited vulnerabilities within the system, leading to the unauthorized minting of a substantial number of tokens. In response to this incident, Binance took immediate action to protect its users and the broader community by tracing and freezing the hacker’s remaining funds on its platform. These measures were implemented to minimize damage and safeguard the interests of Flow token holders.
Despite Binance's proactive approach, the Flow project team has not engaged in meaningful communication or collaboration since the hack occurred. Binance has made multiple attempts to reach out and offer support, but these efforts have not been reciprocated. It is crucial that if the Flow project team decides to pursue an isolated recovery solution, centralized exchange addresses, including Binance’s wallets, should be excluded from this process. This is because affected users on various centralized exchange platforms have already been credited accordingly.
Binance urges the Flow project team to provide a comprehensive post-mortem report detailing the root cause of the hack and outlining the measures they will implement to prevent similar incidents in the future. Binance remains ready to offer security support if needed to help bolster the Flow ecosystem’s defenses. To our valued users, Binance is committed to supporting those affected by this incident and will work diligently to provide the necessary assistance to protect your assets and maintain your trust.
