Binance said hackers compromised an employee through a fake job interview and used that access to reach its internal crypto wallets. The exchange disclosed the breach in a just-in statement but did not immediately specify the number of wallets affected or the value of funds at risk. The incident puts a spotlight on social-engineering attacks targeting crypto exchange personnel rather than smart contracts or blockchain infrastructure. Binance is the world's largest exchange by trading volume, so any wallet exposure draws outsized market attention. Traders will watch for Binance's follow-up disclosure on losses, reimbursement plans and whether customer funds were affected.
