Binance has traced a $6.3B hack to fake job interviews and a compromised AI tool, according to the exchange's investigation as reported by Cointelegraph on Nov 3, 2026.
The investigation found that attackers got into Binance's wallet infrastructure through employee computers they had compromised and credentials they had stolen. One way in was a coding assignment sent by someone posing as a possible employer. To the person receiving it, the task looked like a normal step in a job interview.
The report gives no further detail on the AI tool named in the headline or on how it was compromised. It also does not say whose funds were affected, whether any money has been recovered, or who was behind the attack.
