Binance Says $6.34 Billion Hack Began With Fake Job Interview

Binance revealed that a record-breaking theft of approximately $6.3 billion resulted from a sophisticated, multi-stage campaign starting in June. The attack involved North Korean hackers using fake job interviews and social engineering to target two engineers. The breach utilized a tampered Homebrew installation, poisoned developer tools, and stolen credentials to compromise employee laptops. This complex operation allowed hackers to breach Binance wallet infrastructure, marking it as the largest theft in history driven by human error and AI tool abuse.
