Binance says fake job interviews, AI tool used in US$6 bln theft blamed on N. Korea

Binance reported that hackers stole over $6.34 billion in digital assets using fake job interviews and an internal AI tool in a multi-stage attack suspected to have begun in June. The FBI attributed the theft to North Korean hacking group TraderTraitor; the attacker deployed malware through fake recruiter interviews in September and used an internal AI tool on October 20 to access deployment tokens. North Korea's Kim Yo-jong dismissed FBI findings as political provocation, while the U.S. State Department reiterated concerns about North Korea using cybercrime to finance weapons programs.
