[Binance Security Chief Warned of Fake Job Interview Code Attacks, Leading to $6.3 Billion Theft Months Later] According to Odaily, Binance Chief Security Officer Jimmy Su stated in a July interview that fake job interviews could lure employees into running malicious code on company devices, leading to device compromise, stolen credentials, and subsequent infiltration of internal networks. In September, a Binance software engineer downloaded a malicious programming assignment to his work computer during a fake interview; Binance's initial investigation indicated this incident was part of a multi-stage attack that resulted in the October theft. Jimmy Su also pointed out that attackers could exploit seemingly normal technical evaluation procedures to bypass antivirus tools. Binance's subsequent investigation revealed that the malicious program's installer evaded endpoint security tools through obfuscation and other evasion techniques. Binance stated that it has intercepted 57 suspected North Korean-related cyber threats so far this year, approximately one every five days. Following the October attack, Binance stated it has strengthened device and access controls, rebuilt affected wallet systems and internal AI tools, and increased investment in endpoint protection and development environment security.
