Binance published the results of an investigation into the theft of $6,3 billion in cryptocurrency. In June one of the company's engineers downloaded an infected AI program that allowed hackers to gather information about employees. In September another engineer was lured into a fake online interview with representatives of a fictional company, including its CEO, and convinced to download malicious code. In October the attackers, using an infected computer and an internal AI tool, breached the systems of two cryptocurrency wallet developers. On 29 October they executed a malicious script and withdrew cryptocurrency worth $6,3 billion. The Binance-published timeline of the breach contains no indication of North Korean involvement, which the FBI had previously alleged. Meanwhile, customers are withdrawing funds from Binance en masse. According to CoinDesk, in the past 48 hours users have withdrawn nearly $11 billion from the exchange. Binance management says the situation is stabilizing.
