Binance halted 57 North Korean threats but fell for fake job interview
Binance reported that attackers used a compromised work computer and an internal AI tool to obtain a deployment token, leading to a $6.34 billion theft. The exchange stopped 57 suspected North Korean-linked threats in 2026 but acknowledged the recruitment scam. Replenishment of stolen assets is delayed by thinly traded tokens, and withdrawal access varies by asset. Bitcoin fell 8.25% from Oct 21‑30 while ten‑year real Treasury yields dropped 16 bps, with $398.6 million net outflows from spot Bitcoin ETFs on Nov 2. Binance plans a broader reserve snapshot on Nov 4 and an independent security review of its AI environment.
