Binance details how a fake job interview led to a $6.3B crypto heist

Binance suffered a $6.3 billion cryptocurrency heist after hackers used a fake job interview to compromise a DevOps engineer's laptop and accessed an internal AI tool to execute unauthorized transactions. Co-CEO Richard Teng confirmed Binance will cover all losses and customers will not bear any financial impact; the exchange has replenished approximately 90% of stolen assets. The FBI attributed the theft to North Korean cyber activity; roughly $3 billion in assets have been frozen as Tether, Circle, and Ripple also froze potentially affected assets.
