⚡️👀 NEW - Strangers are sending money to the hackers who stole billions of dollars from Binance, in transactions that include messages asking to be given a share of the loot.
Since the October 29, 2026, hack, some internet users have been taking advantage of the situation to send tiny transactions accompanied by messages written directly into the blockchain.
One of them spent about $46, including fees, to write “Help me bro” three times to each of the nineteen addresses.
Other messages are even more outlandish: one sender suggests ways for the hackers to move the funds, another tries to promote their own cryptocurrency, while a prankster asks them for Bitcoin for Halloween.
None of these requests have received a response so far.
