The Chief Security Officer of Binance dropped a bombshell today: they receive a pile of fake resumes every day, all disguised as 'North Korean official hackers', pretending to be Chinese or Japanese, trying to sneak into Binance interviews.
What's even more outrageous is that a North Korean hacker who disguised himself as an employee has helped carry out several large-scale hacking incidents; this operation is truly stealthy.
In fact, there have been precedents for this. Previously, Bybit was hacked, and the stolen ETH was directly exchanged for 13,562 BTC, worth $1.63 billion at the time, which caused quite a stir in the community. In just the first half of this year, North Korean hackers have snatched $1.6 billion worth of cryptocurrency from the crypto circle, it's like they are robbing money.
Moreover, they are not just conducting hacking attacks; they are also playing 'infiltration'. Thousands of North Korean programmers have blended into Web3 companies, earning over $10 million in salaries this year alone, all paid in USDC.
Some project teams are belatedly realizing that these people clearly claim to be from the same city but refuse to meet in person. Even more absurdly, three North Korean engineers recommended each other, and they all joined the same project, intending to infiltrate the entire company as their territory.
One can only say that the crypto circle is indeed very deep, and it's hard to guard against. #黑客攻击
