In a security report released on November 3, Binance disclosed that its security team successfully blocked 57 suspected North Korea-linked cyber threats in 2026, yet failed to prevent an attack involving a fake job interview and malware that duped an engineer. The incident ultimately led to a $6.34 billion cryptocurrency theft from Binance on October 29. The report detailed that the attackers gained access to Binance's systems using fabricated interviews, forged identities, and malware. The FBI has attributed the theft to North Korea's Operation TraderTraitor.
