Key points
- Guardian screening halted all deposits and withdrawals globally following a Binance breach.
- About $3 billion in assets held by partners were frozen to prevent transfers from completing.

Limitations
The evidence indicates a global freeze of $3 billion in assets but does not specify the exact date of the breach or the precise timeline of the freeze. The specific operational impact on user funds remains under investigation, and the source does not provide further details on the breach's cause or the system's response.
