The Fake Interview in Binance’s $6.3B Hack

Two interviews, a video call with someone posing as the CEO, then a coding test. By that point, would you have run it on your work laptop?

Binance says the assignment installed malware. The attackers then used the engineer’s laptop and an internal AI tool to reach two more engineers’ computers. They eventually gained access to the service that signs wallet transactions and stole about $6.3 billion in crypto.

Before you run interview code, verify the recruiter through contact details you find yourself. Use a separate environment that can’t access your work systems, credentials or crypto wallets.
