Binance's investigation into its $6 billion hack found attackers used fake job interviews and malicious code to steal $6.34 billion, of which around $2.85 billion has been frozen. The four-hour attack on October 29 was attributed by the FBI to North Korea-affiliated hackers. Binance says it replenished 98 percent of affected assets from its own funds. Attackers first targeted an engineer with a virus-laden Homebrew download in June.
