[SlowMist's Yu Xian: Binance Hack Involves Advanced Persistent Threat (APT) Attack; Individuals and Businesses Should Investigate Poisoning Risks] BlockBeats reported on November 4th that Yu Xian, founder of SlowMist, stated that the Binance hack was an APT attack and should not be interpreted solely as engineer error or excessive privileges. He pointed out that such attacks can involve multiple stages, including intelligence gathering, social engineering, malware evasion detection, trust chain exploitation, lateral movement poisoning, cloud environment penetration, and risk control bypassing, and may also incorporate zero-day vulnerabilities. Yu Xian cautioned that individuals and businesses should use this opportunity to examine themselves, their colleagues, and employees to see if they are vulnerable to similar poisoning attacks and strengthen their defenses. The initial social engineering is just one link in the attack chain; seemingly simple techniques can have serious consequences in specific environments. [Original Link]
