Binance co-founder He Yi said the exchange’s security team had discovered and prevented 57 suspected North Korea-related cyber-threat incidents since the start of 2026, according to a BlockBeats report.
Reported methods
He Yi listed fake recruitment interviews, malware disguised as popular development tools, compromised software packages and browser extensions, fake video-conferencing applications and social-engineering attacks designed to steal credentials or deploy remote-access malware.
Scope of the claim
The 57 figure is Binance’s reported count of suspected threats it discovered and prevented. It is not a confirmed count of successful attacks, victims or losses, and the North Korea attribution has not been independently verified in the flash.
