⚡️ BREAKING: The $6.3 BILLION Binance Hack Reportedly Started With a FAKE Job Interview! 🚨
According to CoinDesk, attackers reportedly posed as recruiters and tricked an engineer into downloading a malware-infected coding assignment onto a company computer.
Here's how the attack unfolded:
🎯 Hackers allegedly used a fake recruitment process to gain initial access.
🤖 They later leveraged an internal AI tool to access the computers of two wallet engineers.
🔑 Stolen credentials allowed them to execute a malicious script on October 29.
💥 The attackers exploited Ethereum's EIP-7702 feature to gain control of a hot wallet.
⏱️ Binance reportedly took around four hours to contain the incident.
Binance's response:
💰 Approximately $2.85 BILLION in assets has reportedly been frozen.
🔄 98% of the affected tokens have been replenished using company funds.
🛡️ Binance says users will not bear the financial losses.
🇰🇵 The FBI has attributed the attack to North Korea.
This incident highlights a growing threat to the crypto industry: hackers are increasingly using social engineering, malware, and AI-assisted techniques to target even sophisticated organizations.
The biggest security vulnerability may not be the blockchain itself, but the people and systems connected to it. ⚠️
