Binance Says Hackers Stole $6.3 Billion Using Fake Job Interviews and Internal AI Tools

In a post-mortem report, Binance revealed that hackers orchestrated a $6.3 billion cryptocurrency theft by combining fake job interviews with the company's internal AI tools. Posing as recruiters, the attackers tricked engineers into downloading backdoor-laden interview assignments to gain initial access, subsequently leveraging Binance's internal AI tools to compromise the affected employees' wallets. Binance stated that it has frozen or intercepted roughly $2.85 billion in assets, with 98% of the affected tokens replenished and withdrawals resumed; however, the report did not provide specific details on how the internal AI tools operated.
