Binance Chief Security Officer Warned of Fake Interview Attack Method Months Before $6.3B Theft

According to ChainCatcher, Binance Chief Security Officer Jimmy Su warned in July that fraudulent job interview schemes could trick employees into running malicious code on company devices, leading to credential theft and internal network penetration. In September, a Binance software engineer downloaded malicious code during a fake interview; the company's investigation confirmed this incident was part of a multi-stage attack in October's $6.3 billion theft. Binance stated that the malicious installer used obfuscation techniques to evade endpoint security tools. Following the October attack, Binance strengthened device and access controls, rebuilt affected wallet systems, and increased endpoint protection investments.
