Binance Blocked 57 North Korean Cyberattacks, Then Fell for a Fake Job Interview

Binance disclosed that it has stopped 57 cyberattacks attributed to North Korean threat actors. Despite that record, the exchange confirmed one scheme succeeded through a fake job interview rather than a technical exploit. According to Binance, attackers posed as recruiters to lure a target into a staged interview process. During that process, the target was persuaded to download malicious code. That download then sparked a security breach inside the company's systems. The tactic mirrors a pattern security researchers have tracked for years among North Korean-linked groups operating in the crypto industry.
