alt Hacker NewsI wonder what the actual attack vectors here were. Was there actually a hack into binance systems, or was it just some insider or credential leak?

Probably a hack, or at least some spearphishing. You can buy a lot of 0days when your budget is billions.

Crazy thought, but what if they went via the Claude Code trojan?

Not saying this is the case, but the way this unfolded, and announcement reminded me of the crypto scams that were popular a few years ago (ponzy schemes), with the final rug-pull being "oh no, our platform was hacked, all your funds were lost, sorry!", i.e. "coscoin"[0][1] I know this is not the case here, but the way they announce the hack is funnily similar to how those fake platforms did their final announcement.
