A fake job interview opened the door to the $6.34B Binance hack.
Binance says an engineer ran a malicious "assignment" from fake recruiters on his work computer. Attackers then used an internal AI tool to reach the wallet team.
Never run a stranger's code on a work machine.

Kraken has restricted accounts tied to a suspected $133M theft from an unnamed EU entity.
Kraken says the theft didn't start on its platform and its systems weren't compromised. Crypto.com is blocking the funds too.
Over $30M is already laundered, part of it into Monero.

$405M walked out of BlackRock's Bitcoin ETF in a single day.
That's IBIT's biggest daily outflow since June. US spot Bitcoin ETFs have now lost $1.04B in two sessions, starting right after the Binance hack.
That's clients redeeming, not BlackRock dumping its own Bitcoin.

XRP ETFs took in $4.3M last week.
Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Solana funds lost $706M between them. XRP was the only major crypto ETF group still getting fresh money.
