He Yi: Binance has identified and blocked 57 suspected North Korea-linked cyberattacks since the start of 2026
Binance co-founder He Yi said that since the start of 2026, Binance’s security team has identified and successfully blocked 57 cyberattacks suspected of being linked to North Korea. These attacks reflect the ongoing threat posed by state-sponsored hacker groups targeting the cryptocurrency industry.
The attack methods included fake job interviews, malware disguised as popular developer tools, compromised software packages and browser extensions, fake video conferencing apps, and social engineering attacks designed to steal account credentials or deploy remote access malware. He Yi said Binance blocked many of these attacks, but even a single failure to stop one could have severe consequences. “This should never happen.” $BNB
