# Highlight Clip: Binance CSO: A Fake Interview and a Coding Assignment Breached an Engineer’s Computer

Binance CSO: A Fake Interview and a Coding Assignment Breached an Engineer's ComputerOn November 9, 2026, Binance CSO Jimmy Su described a fake-recruitment attack in an X fireside chat. A Binance engineer was contacted on a legitimate job platform by a self-styled project director. The attacker ran a fake HR video interview, posed as a fictitious company's CEO, then sent a malware-laced repository. It ran when installed on his work computer, becoming the entry point of a $6.34 billion theft.
