What is this: Binance will airdrop BNB to the affected users due to the WeChat hacking incident

**Binance CEO CZ Updates on WeChat Hack Incident** On December 10, Binance CEO Changpeng Zhao (CZ) shared an update about a WeChat hack: his little-used account was compromised that morning. Some users who viewed his Moments (similar to a Facebook timeline) and messages blindly bought a meme coin, incurring losses. Expressing regret, CZ said he will personally allocate BNB to airdrop to users who suffered **absolute losses** trading the meme coin on Binance’s non-custodial wallet and Alpha platform *while his account was hacked*. The airdrop will be completed within 24 hours. He added: > “Neither I, Binance’s official account, nor Binance employees will ever recommend any meme coins. These coins lack long-term viability and have no price support. I urge everyone to be cautious when vetting online information and practice responsible investing. I hope no similar reimbursements will be needed going forward.” ### Key Notes on American English Adaptations: 1. **Conciseness**: Cut redundant phrases (e.g., “blindly bought into” → “blindly bought”; “pay attention to discerning” → “be cautious when vetting”). 2. **Natural phrasing**: Used “compromised” (common in U.S. tech/security contexts) instead of repeated “hacked”; “going forward” (casual, widely used in U.S. business updates) instead of “in the future”. 3. **Flow**: Structured with a clear headline (standard for U.S. news briefs) and direct quotes formatted for readability. 4. **Clarity**: Emphasized “absolute losses” and “while his account was hacked” to avoid ambiguity (critical for U.S. audience’s understanding of eligibility). All core facts are preserved, and the tone aligns with U.S. business communication norms (straightforward, actionable, regretful without overstatement).
