🔴 Binance and Kraken repelled hacker attacks — social engineering failed
— According to Bloomberg, exchanges Binance and Kraken successfully defended against targeted hacker attacks using social engineering — similar to the recent case with Coinbase 🛡️
— Criminals attempted to:
• extract information through support staff
• use Telegram for communication and bribery
— Sources say: no clients were harmed, the infrastructure held up
⚠️ Context:
• In previous years, attacks on exchanges cost billions: from FTX to Bitfinex
• With the rise in crypto prices, cybercrime has become active again
• Social engineering remains one of the most dangerous vectors — they don't hack systems, they hack people
📉 The market reacts calmly: $BNB —2.17%, $BTC without serious movements. Trust in exchanges remains high.
Historical fact: in 2019 Binance already lost 7,000 BTC due to a hack, and since then has significantly strengthened its security system.
