My account was stolen, I lost $1400 in BTC . I wonder if I will even get my money back ever. Contacted support and they are probably going to take forever to answer.

"Binance will use the #SAFU fund to cover this incident in full. No user funds will be affected."

If you were affected by this attack, you'll be fine? It seems at least.

So I assume I won't be getting back my portfolio until at least then. This means $500-750 of profits just completely lost and also sets me back in time within my investing profile.

Just paying back money will never cover the losses, they know that. This is the least they can do in these occurences, if they did not return funds they would be scrutinized and people would never use their exchange again. Me being one of them.

This was most definitely not what  happened, I suggest you to research it. This was an exploit in their API system and had no relation to that, in fact I am dumbfounded as to where you got this information from because it is just impossible.

I was told from Binance support that my account was compromised directly in relation to their open vulnerability which allowed for 2factor authentication to be bypassed. Whether that is truth or not, I will take with a grain of salt. But I can confirm is impossible for my details to have been stolen through such blackhat methods that should not be named ;)

It was not a targeted attack towards myself or others, rather Binance platform itself. I was never locked out of access to my account, and nobody was in fact. The users effected by this would log in after the attack happened, and when checking portfolio it would redirect to the security breach notes. Only today my balance appeared as normal, and have been since having issues with creating market trades, unsure why. I contacted their support and am expecting a response once they clear everything up. There is likely thousands on thousands of support requests right now and going to take forever, but I hope it will be fixed before then. This has set me back quite some time that is for sure, and time is money.

Nice posting etiquette 😉 This is more than common sense, but this is most definitely not what  happened in context of what the user stated. If you do your due diligence and research, you will learn as to why this was not related in any sort of way. It was not people who were targeted, rather API keys specifically ;) But I guess you would not know that, you know what the term is for somebody who is conditioned of being uneducated, misinformed or unaware?

Everyone's posts in this thread are suggestive they have not even seen the Periscope AMA

You asked him where he got the idea that it was through phishing, he pointed it out to you and I had to confirm it via posting the actual first sentence of the OP's link, I couldn't give 2 flying fucks if he's wrong or right, you're just a pompous sneb twat, who tried to talk down to him for pointing the obvious to you.......clown.

Try less man, someone might actually think you're not a total knobhead.
