Binance Says Hackers Spent Months Planning Crypto Heist

Binance has said that the hackers who stole billions in cryptocurrency carried out a long, carefully prepared operation rather than a quick attack. The group reportedly used a range of methods, including infecting employees' laptops, compromising internal tools, and posing as job candidates in fake interviews. These tactics allowed the attackers to gain access to systems and move funds without being detected at an early stage. The disclosure underscores how sophisticated social engineering and insider-style intrusions can be used against major crypto exchanges.
