Hackers entered Binance through a fake job application for a billion-dollar heist

A Binance employee was tricked into downloading malware during video calls with a scammer posing as the CEO. This allowed hackers to access the exchange's systems and steal $6.3 billion in cryptocurrencies, surpassing previous theft records. Binance has pledged to compensate victims and reserves billions for this purpose. The FBI attributes the attack to a North Korean-linked group, TraderTraitor, which North Korea denies.
