Binance hacked for $6.3 billion by alleged North Korean group using AI-driven job scams

Alleged North Korean hackers drained $6.3 billion from Binance in just 20 minutes last week, marking the largest crypto exchange hack ever recorded. According to Binance, the attackers exploited multiple sophisticated methods, including fake job interviews, compromised code libraries, and advanced artificial intelligence (AI) tools, leaving much of the crypto sector on alert for similar threats. North Korea-linked hacking groups have become increasingly adept at infiltrating cryptocurrency firms by posing as job candidates using fake identities. These attackers leverage convincing deepfake technology during interviews, allowing them to change their appearance and voice in real time.
