Binance says fake job interviews used as part of $6.3bn crypto hack

Binance said fake job interviews conducted through a legitimate job-hunting platform were used as part of a $6.3 billion crypto hack, with an engineer contacted and invited to bogus interviews by representatives posing as a real company. The exchange disclosed the tactic as it detailed how the scheme unfolded, underscoring the growing use of social engineering to breach crypto targets. The incident matters because it shows attackers exploiting trusted recruitment channels rather than technical vulnerabilities to gain access. What to watch next is whether Binance or investigators identify additional victims and whether recruitment platforms tighten verification of employer accounts.
