BleepingComputer: Binance says fake job interview led to $6.3 billion crypto heist
"...Cryptocurrency exchange Binance says North Korean hackers used a fake job interview to trick an employee into installing malware that ultimately let them compromise the company's wallet infrastructure and steal about $6.34 billion in digital assets..."

It would be a convenient cover for an inside job.
@ai6yr don't under estimate the number of people working for tech companies that don't have their own computer... or it's so old (they didn't upgrade) that they use the work one for everything but maybe gaming.
Well they'll definitely be needing a new job now.
How would one go about answering the "Why did you leave your last position?" question in this situation.
@eric "My work at my last company made international headlines!"
@ai6yr North Koreans are very convenient culprits for the crypto lot. Can't be reached, seen or made accountable, but can be accused of anything. Even better than Russians.
@ai6yr Look, these cryptocurrency companies aren't sending their best.
@ai6yr "what idiot uses their WORK COMPUTER to do a job interview?!" Many, many idiots.
@ai6yr ive done a bunch of work for cryptocurrency orgs in the last 3 years. i have stories.
@ai6yr “just install this…” AAAAND I’m out.
@ai6yr
Was it just a coincidence that the password that destroyed all trust on earth last week was the number of horseman of the apocalypse? I suspect we have driven all the holy and horrific horsemen and hounds of heaven and hell totally crazy seeing that they cannot match the insane vanities that we are inflicting upon each other, that they have been furloughed indefinitely for not keeping up with us and the Koreans in ability to inspire existential fears, and that they are now joining the orgy of depravity here. But we created them, and they will die with us, and Nature will resume control.
