Binance CSO warned of fake coding-test tactic later used in $6.3B hack

Binance chief security officer Jimmy Su described in a July interview how fake coding assessments could compromise employee devices — a tactic later used in the exchange’s record-breaking $6.3 billion hack. The link between the earlier warning and the attack was drawn in reporting on the incident. Binance has not said whether the technique was confirmed as the entry point.

The striking element is timing: a public warning preceded the exploit, yet the technique apparently still worked, which points to the gap between awareness and enforcement in exchange security. This matters most for Binance's users and for other large venues whose staff are equally exposed to social-engineering lures. Binance's silence on whether the tactic was the confirmed entry point leaves the causal claim unverified, and whether attribution is formally established is the open question worth watching.
