🚨 I’ve started thinking about buying a cold wallet 🔥
A quake shakes the crypto world! $6.34 billion at the heart of one of the most dangerous hacking stories!
Imagine billions of dollars in digital assets being put at risk… not by breaking complex encryption, but through a job interview 😱
Yes, this is the shocking story detailed in the investigation attributed to Binance!
The hack was like a coordinated espionage operation
🎯 Fake job interviews to target an employee inside the platform.
🦠 A booby-trapped programming task to install malware on their device.
🔓 Infiltration from the employee’s device into other internal systems.
💣 Access to the wallet transaction-signing infrastructure and execution of unauthorized transfers.
And the numbers? This is where the shock begins! 👇
💰 $6.34 billion in affected assets!
₿ 18,270 Bitcoin (BTC)
💧 233.46 million XRP
☀️ 970,500 Solana (SOL)
🔵 44.2 million OP
🛑 $2.85 billion frozen or intercepted!
Even more concerning, according to the account, the attack was linked to the exploitation of the EIP-7702 mechanism on Ethereum and attributed to North Korean hacking groups.
Binance announced that it would cover the losses, rebuild the affected systems, and strengthen its security defenses, while restoring 98% of the affected assets according to the figures cited.
You may use the strongest platform, the latest security technologies, and the biggest systems—but a malicious link or a carefully targeted employee can become a weak point that puts billions of dollars at risk
