Binance Revealed How Attackers Stole $6.3 Billion<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Binance published its account of the October 29 breach<\/a>, saying attackers used fake recruiter interviews and compromised developer tools to access its signing service. About $6.34 billion left the exchange. Partners froze or intercepted roughly $2.85 billion, and Binance said it has replenished 98% of affected token assets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The attack vector (fake job interviews used to compromise developer machines) is the same technique North Korea’s TraderTraitor group has used in prior operations. The signing service compromise gave attackers the ability to authorize transactions without triggering standard controls.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The 98% replenishment figure addresses user funds but does not resolve the question of how $3.5 billion in unrecovered assets gets accounted for long term.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n
