The target now is the person writing the code.
The recent security incident at Binance raised a red alert across the entire tech market. Unlike traditional attacks focused on direct server vulnerabilities, the criminals targeted developers’ workflows.
How did this happen? Software engineers install libraries, download repositories, and run tests all the time. Knowing this, the attackers used fake job interviews and tampered programming tools. By downloading a supposed “technical test” onto a company computer, the professional ended up running malicious code that was invisible to common antivirus software, opening a path to the internal infrastructure.
This case proves that modern cybersecurity no longer depends only on robust firewalls, but also on isolating test environments and paying extra attention to external links and files—even for those who know technology inside out.
In my view, Binance’s swift transparency in disclosing the technical details, freezing billions, and fully covering the funds strengthens trust and raises the protection standards of the entire crypto ecosystem.
