on November 5, according to Reuters, the U.S. Federal Reserve (Fed) and the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC) have begun contacting banks to inquire about unusual activity or service disruptions, investigating potential system security risks exposed following Binance’s recent $6.3 billion hack. Sources said multiple U.S. banks are reviewing their cybersecurity systems, with one major bank already drafting an internal report to assess whether enhanced security measures are necessary.
