Short version of how @binance got hacked for $6.34B:
Sept: engineer gets a fake job offer, 2 interview rounds, then a test assignment u run on ur work laptop. Repo swaps pyenv for malware
Oct 20: hacker uses Binance's own internal AI tool to jump to 2 more wallet engineers.
Oct 29: 3h of setup, 233M XRP gone in 4 min, then SOL, OP, 18k BTC. On ETH they set up EIP-7702 delegation, so pausing withdrawals changed nothing, took Binance till 00:10 to kill it.
- $2.85B frozen, Binance eats the rest- - FBI says it’s North Korea
- 57 DPRK attempts blocked this year, this one got through.
