Okay. Maybe blacklisted was a bit harsh. Fair. This person will probably never ever make a mistake like this again if they manage to get a job in software engineering again. BUTTTT I think it goes without saying that Binance is at fault here. Their controls completely failed. That was known the minute this happened. The fact that this was able to happen — no matter who was phished or hacked or whatever means their systems were no where near good enough. Done. Known. Now, I have zero power and zero control over anything of importance at my company. And I (along with everyone else) is still constantly tested and forced to go through classes regularly about phishing and downloading things (ESPECIALLY SOFTWARE) and not clicking on links and so on and so on. I have friends and family at all manner of companies that go through similar processes. I have had multiple way less sophisticated attempts on me over the years via telegram and elsewhere because scammers and hackers probably don’t realize I’m poor and have almost nothing on chain. It’s also literally impossible to download software not previously approved where I work (again big problem and a bad sign for Binance’s internal controls). I would hope a software engineer at a crypto company is at least as versed in these risks as an average employee of a large corporation. All of that said — mistakes happen. People get caught up. It happens to really smart people. But still, If I had the theoretical ability to move billions of dollars from my computer there is zero fucking chance in hell I would download… idk? anything? onto said computer. Anddddddd if I were doing a theoretical job interview for another company. I sure as all hell would NOT be doing it on my current company’s laptop/computer? That is actually psychotic. End of day no matter how dangerous AI is at finding holes. It’s still people that are the primary weak points. And there’s multiple levels of incompetence here.
