Binance says hackers used a fake job interview to steal crypto

Binance reported that hackers used a fake job interview to steal crypto from its users, underscoring the growing threat of social engineering in the industry. The exchange disclosed the incident without specifying the amount stolen, the tokens affected, or the chains involved. The attack relied on deceiving victims during a purported hiring process rather than exploiting protocol or smart-contract vulnerabilities. The disclosure highlights how exchanges and their customers face rising operational-security risks that technical safeguards alone may not address. What to watch next: Binance's remediation steps, any reimbursement or user-protection measures, and whether other exchanges report similar recruitment-themed social engineering campaigns.
