Trendy cryptocurrency exchange Binance has validated an "enormous breach" from hackers who made their merry way with more than $40 million in cryptocurrency.

In a recent statement by an eye-witness, the hackers stole Binance API keys. These keys consist of two-factor codes and other crucial credentials.

Approximately over 7,000 bitcoins were stolen at the time of this writing, Binace traced the account the funds were sent to which turned out to be a single wallet. Binance remains the world's largest cryptocurrency exchange in terms of volume, the stolen bitcoin is just 2 percent of Binance total bitcoin holdings.

I hope your coins weren't included, right now all transactions on Binance are terminated.
