Cyber attack on Binance! They started with a fake job interview, they made a billion-dollar haul

Binance disclosed that a cyberattack resulting in roughly $6.3 billion in stolen crypto began when hackers breached the computers of two software engineers through fake job interviews and malware hidden inside an advertisement. Using the compromised systems and employee credentials, the attackers carried out the large-scale theft on October 29. The exchange detailed the incident publicly, underscoring how social-engineering tactics rather than flaws in blockchain infrastructure can expose even the largest crypto platforms to massive losses. Investors and exchange operators will be watching for Binance's remediation steps, any reimbursement or insurance arrangements, and whether regulators tighten scrutiny of operational security at centralized crypto venues.
