After reading Binance’s investigation report, what hit me hardest wasn’t the $630 million—it was the way they got in: a “take-home interview assignment.”
Basically, the attacker posed as a recruiter, conducted two rounds of interviews, then asked an engineer to download a “coding test” onto their work computer. Once the malware inside was run, several more computers and internal tools were gradually compromised. The report says they had been laying the groundwork since June.
My own approach is pretty simple: files, scripts, or “assignments” sent by strangers get opened only on an old computer with no accounts signed in, or in a virtual machine. I never use my work or wallet devices.
Have you ever received a strange interview or collaboration invite?
