North Korea just pulled off one of the cleanest crypto heists in history - $6.34B from Binance.
5 months of setup.
4 minutes to drain the $XRP hot wallet.
Started with a poisoned Homebrew install. One compromised package. Patient as hell.
Binance's incident report lays out the full attack chain - from initial infection to complete hot wallet drainage.
This wasn't some random exploit. This was state-level tradecraft meeting crypto infrastructure.
If you're running hot wallets or managing exchange infra, this breakdown is mandatory reading. The attack surface is bigger than most teams think.
