Binance says $6.43 billion theft stemmed from multi-stage fake job interview campaign

Binance◼ states the $6.43 billion theft was a sophisticated, multi-stage campaign involving a tampered Homebrew installation and a recruitment-themed social engineering attack against two engineers. No CVE identifiers, affected Homebrew versions or indicators of compromise are given in the available text, which is truncated. Defenders should review the integrity of package manager installations on engineering endpoints and treat fake recruiter or interview lures as a live threat to staff with privileged access.
