Binance CSO Jimmy Su said in an X fireside chat on November 9, 2026, that a fake recruitment attack gave attackers access to the work computer of a Binance engineer and became the entry point for a $6.34 billion theft. The engineer was approached on a legitimate job platform by someone posing as a project director. The attacker conducted a fake HR video interview, impersonated the CEO of a fictitious company, and sent a repository laced with malware. The code executed when installed on the work computer of the engineer.
