Binance's initial investigation suggests that the security incident may involve a compromised DevOps engineer’s laptop, which allowed an attacker to gain access to a service container and submit unauthorized withdrawal transactions. We have found no evidence of any wallet private key leak. We will share a detailed technical post-mortem once the investigation is complete and the facts are fully verified. The estimated total impact sits at around $6.3B. We have worked with blockchain partners to freeze affected assets, with ~$3 billion frozen on-chain so far. Binance will cover all losses from the SAFU fund and the company’s funds. User funds are safe. We will also publish an updated Proof of Reserves once the remediation is complete. As an immediate precaution, Binance has: - temporarily suspended deposits and withdrawals while security checks are completed; - revoked the affected address authorisation; - engaged law enforcement and blockchain intelligence partners to trace and recover funds. Our teams are working around the clock to resolve this issue safely and thoroughly. We are working closely with our law enforcement partners to confirm the identity of these criminals and bring them to justice. Please rely only on official Binance channels for updates. Please feel free to contact Binance Customer Support if you have any further questions. binance.com/en/support/annou…

34. Route 53 Routing Policies ⚔️ Same domain. Different routing requirements. Which one do you choose? → Simple - One destination → Weighted - Split traffic between resources → Latency-based - Send users to the Region with the best network latency → Failover - Primary → Backup when the primary is unhealthy → Geolocation - Route based on user location A simple way to remember: One destination? → Simple Split traffic? → Weighted Best latency? → Latency-based Primary + backup? → Failover User location matters? → Geolocation Route 53 isn't just DNS resolution. It can also control how DNS queries are answered. 🌐

33. You type "api.example.com". What happens next? 👀 Your browser needs to find Where is this application? That’s where DNS comes in. The basic journey: Client → DNS Resolver → Route 53 → Hosted Zone → DNS Record → Application Route 53 supports routing policies such as: → Simple → Weighted → Latency-based → Failover → Geolocation You can also use Alias records to point DNS to supported AWS resources: → ALB → CloudFront → S3 And remember: Route 53 doesn't run your application. It helps DNS resolve your application’s name to the right destination. 🌐 Once this flow clicks, AWS DNS becomes much easier.

32. Why Does Transit Gateway Matter? 👀 You have 50 VPCs. Do you really want to manage a growing mesh of VPC Peering connections? Transit Gateway gives you a central hub. VPC A ─┐ VPC B ─┤ VPC C ─┼→ Transit Gateway VPC D ─┘ → Hub-and-spoke networking → Centralized routing → Route-table based segmentation → Scales better than a peering mesh Simple mental model: VPC Peering → Point-to-point Transit Gateway → Central hub That's where Transit Gateway becomes useful. 🚀

31. Why Does VPC Peering Get Difficult at Scale? 👀 Connecting 2 VPCs is simple: VPC A ↔ VPC B That's VPC Peering. But what happens when you have 50 VPCs? You end up managing many point-to-point connections and routes. That's where Transit Gateway helps. VPC Peering → Simple point-to-point connectivity Transit Gateway → Centralized hub for many VPCs Start simple. Scale smart. 🚀
