Binance Reveals Hackers Used Fake Job Interviews and Malicious Code in $6-Billion Heist

Binance released a detailed investigation into the October 29 theft of $6.34 billion, which the FBI attributed to hackers linked to North Korea. The attackers reportedly began targeting engineers in June and later lured one into a fake job interview, using a malware-infected test exercise to gain access to Binance’s internal systems. Binance said it had replenished 98 percent of affected assets using its own funds and that $2.85 billion of the stolen amount had been frozen. Pyongyang denied the allegations, which Kim Jong Un’s sister called “absurd rhetoric.”
