🚨 $6.3 BILLION BINANCE HACK STARTED WITH A FAKE JOB INTERVIEW! ⚠️
A sophisticated cyberattack reportedly began when hackers posed as recruiters and tricked an engineer into downloading a malware-infected coding assignment onto a work computer, according to CoinDesk.
Here’s how the attack unfolded:
🔹 Attackers used a fake recruitment process to infiltrate the system.
🔹 They leveraged an internal AI tool to access two wallet engineers’ computers.
🔹 Stolen credentials allowed them to execute a malicious script on October 29.
🔹 They exploited Ethereum’s EIP-7702 feature to gain control of a hot wallet.
🔹 Binance took approximately four hours to contain the attack.
The recovery update:
💰 $2.85 BILLION reportedly frozen.
📊 98% of affected tokens replenished using company funds.
🛡️ Binance says users will not bear the losses.
The FBI attributed the attack to North Korea.
This incident is a serious reminder that even sophisticated crypto platforms can be vulnerable to social engineering.
One fake job interview. One malicious download. Billions at risk.
Stay alert. Verify recruiters, never download suspicious files, and protect your credentials! 🔐
