PANews reported on November 12, 2026, citing Cointelegraph, that Binance chief security officer Jimmy Su had described a fake coding-test tactic in a July interview. PANews said the tactic closely resembled the entry method later used in a hack that cost Binance $6.3 billion.
Su said attackers could tailor a false job offer to an employee and persuade them to run code as part of a technical assessment. Running the code could compromise the employee’s device, allowing attackers to steal credentials and move further into the network. He said the individual steps in such an assessment can appear legitimate, making the activity difficult for many antivirus programs to flag.
