The $6.3B Binance hack is wild. A Binance engineer was looking for a new job. North Korean hackers created a fake company, contacted him on LinkedIn and conducted two job interviews. Then they sent him a coding test containing malware. That helped them breach Binance and steal $6.3B in crypto. https://fortune.com/2026/11/03/binance-hack-details-linkedin/
