Binance Reveals Fake Job Interviews Used in Record $6.3bn Crypto Hack

Hackers stole a record $6.3bn from Binance using fake job interviews and a compromised internal AI tool in a sophisticated social engineering campaign.

Perpetrators tricked a Binance engineer via a job-hunting platform to download malware during a second interview, later compromising two other engineers' laptops in October.

The FBI indicated that North Korea is responsible for the incident, a claim which Pyongyang denied, while Binance suspended withdrawals globally until restoring services on Sunday.
