Binance traces $6.3B hack to fake job interviews, compromised AI tool

Binance suffered a $6.3 billion hack in October traced to a months-long coordinated campaign starting in June with fake job interviews and compromised AI tools targeting engineers. Attackers gained access to wallet infrastructure through a malicious coding assignment, then used compromised systems and internal AI tools to obtain deployment credentials on October 20, executing the theft on October 29. Binance has frozen or intercepted $2.85 billion and replenished 98% of affected assets; the FBI attributes the attack to North Korean hackers, which North Korea denies.
