Binance says a fake job interview preceded a $6.3 billion hack

Key points

• According to Binance, an engineer ran malicious code on a work computer while completing a task for a fake job interview.
• Binance says the attackers took several steps starting in June before gaining access to its system.
• The source says the hackers then used an AI tool, though the excerpt available does not give details.

Why it matters for marketers: Content and hiring teams should treat candidate assignments and unsolicited job tasks as a possible security risk, and check them before running any code.
