An extortion group called n0n published the passwords and keys to a firewall that guards the link Finzly's bank clients use to send payment instructions to the Federal Reserve.
Finzly connects 11 listed banks and credit unions to ACH, Fedwire and FedNow through a single shared connection. The leaked files describe a direct link labeled "FED" and rules for FedNow and FedACH traffic.
Finzly says it rotated its keys and credentials and that the files can't get anyone into its systems. The Fed says its payment services were not impacted.
The passwords were the easy part to fix. The map of how everything connects is still out there.

18 years ago a post on an obscure mailing list changed the course of human history.
Happy White Paper Day.
Binance says hot wallets were compromised and about $6.3B in token assets were stolen.
The breach hit around 20:05 UTC on October 29. Co-CEOs Yi and Richard say Binance will absorb the loss, not users, through SAFU and the corporate treasury.
The exchange has set aside more than $6.34B in company funds, with $5B held in the exact stolen assets, including USDC, USDT, BTC, ETH and BNB. That covers roughly 80% of the impacted amount.
Binance says it will cover the rest through market and OTC purchases.

Binance exploiters are moving stablecoins into DeFi protocols to dodge freezes, @chainalysis says.
The method has been used on the Tron blockchain since the early hours of the $6.4 billion attack. Hackers swap TRX for stablecoins, then swap those stablecoins for depository receipt tokens.
Unlike the stablecoins they represent, the receipt tokens cannot be frozen. Whoever holds them can redeem them for the underlying stablecoins on new, clean addresses.
The stablecoin issuer can freeze the original funds. It cannot freeze the receipt.
