Binance heist began with fake job interviews and a malicious Homebrew download

Binance has revealed how Norh Korean attackers spent months compromising systems and employees with malicious developer software and a fake recruitment process. The intrusions eventually gave hackers access to the exchange’s internal wallet signing systems, enabling the October 29 theft.

What the coverage shows

Both outlets frame the story as Binance explaining a long, staged compromise rather than a one-off hack. Tom's Hardware foregrounds fake recruitment and a malicious Homebrew download, while The Register centers the fake job interview angle and quotes Binance saying it was not a single isolated breach or simple phishing incident. The Register is the only one to use the $6.3B figure in its headline extract.
