Fake recruitment and artificial intelligence. This is how hackers carried out the largest cyberattack in history
A sophisticated hacking operation led to the theft of $6.3 billion from Binance, marking the largest cryptocurrency heist in history. The attack began when a developer downloaded a fake AI tool, exposing login credentials. Another programmer later downloaded malicious code, allowing hackers to gain access to the wallet system. The FBI attributed the attack to a North Korean hacking group, which has denied the allegations. Binance pledged to reimburse affected customers and announced plans to enhance AI-based detection systems and establish a security research fund.
