Binance Hack Timeline Reveals How Attackers Exploited Three Engineers

Attackers reportedly compromised three Binance engineers before reaching the internal wallet signing service. The timeline spans June, September and October, involving tampered software and a malicious code repository. A claim blaming a Google ad has not been established by the preliminary investigation. A major Binance hack didn’t begin with some sophisticated attack on the exchange’s front door. According to a preliminary investigation timeline, attackers compromised employees, stole credentials and eventually reached the platform’s internal wallet signing service. The sequence raises uncomfortable questions about internal security. Three engineers became part of an attack chain that ultimately enabled unauthorized asset transfers.
