Binance Says Hackers Plotted $6.3 Billion Crypto Heist for Months

What the coverage shows

Most outlets converge on Binance’s account that the heist began with a fake job interview and other familiar tactics, often pairing that with malware or a malicious download, and several also say the company described an internal AI tool being involved. The Verge, CNBC and the New York Times foreground the AI tool and the multi-stage or monthslong nature of the operation, while TechCrunch is the outlier in centering the episode as evidence of long-warned North Korean tactics. The Register’s first item and The Hill are the only ones to explicitly tie the case to FBI or North Korea in the headline or extract.
