Chainalysis says Binance hackers used automated money-laundering patterns not seen before; Elliptic: almost all of the $6.3B was taken in the first 30 minutes (Financial Times)

The Financial Times reports that the Binance theft was executed with unprecedented speed and automation, with nearly all of the $6.3B reportedly moved within 30 minutes and laundering patterns that analysts say were unlike prior cases. For CIOs and technology leaders, the key takeaway is that cyber-enabled financial crime is becoming faster, more automated, and harder to contain, raising the bar for real-time detection, transaction monitoring, incident response, and cross-functional coordination between security, fraud, and compliance teams.
