Binance has replenished 98% of $6.34 billion in affected assets, according to a security report the crypto exchange issued Tuesday.

What the coverage shows

Both outlets frame the story around Binance’s account of a long-running hack and both mention fake job interviews as part of the scheme. The New York Times foregrounds the monthslong campaign and says the report involved an engineer’s work computer and an internal A.I. tool, while Bloomberg Technology highlights social engineering and malicious software and calls it the “most detailed report yet” on how the incident unfolded.
