Hackers behind the largest cryptocurrency heist ever gained access through a fake job application at Binance: "A campaign lasting months"
Hackers executed the largest cryptocurrency theft ever from Binance, using a fake job interview to gain access to an employee's computer. They stole $6.3 billion in cryptocurrencies through a malicious download disguised as a work assignment. Binance's co-CEO stated this was a well-planned campaign lasting months. All victims will be compensated, with $2.85 billion in stolen assets frozen or intercepted. Binance has set aside sufficient funds to cover the losses, and 98% of affected assets have been restored. The FBI and Binance attribute the attack to North Korea.
