Binance explains how North Korean hackers used fake job interviews, malicious developer tools and an internal AI tool in its $6.34 billion cryptocurrency theft.

Binance says a fake job interview process and abuse of an internal AI tool helped attackers reach its wallet infrastructure before the October 29, 2026 theft of $6.34 billion in cryptocurrency.
