Binance founder CZ receives warning from Google about possible government-sponsored attack

Binance founder CZ received a security alert from Google warning of a possible state-sponsored attack targeting him. CZ shared a notice today through his official X account, highlighting the continuing cybersecurity threats facing prominent crypto industry figures.

CZ recently shared insights into advanced tactics used by North Korean hackers, including impersonating recruiters to gain access to sensitive company positions such as development, security, and finance.

Google regularly monitors and informs users about potential nation-state-sponsored cyber threats, particularly those targeting high-profile individuals in the cryptocurrency space. The tech giant continues to warn against the risks of phishing and fraudulent sites that imitate legitimate platforms to exploit cryptocurrency users.

State-sponsored hacker groups frequently employ tactics such as infiltrating businesses by posing as job seekers or employers, according to recent cybersecurity alerts. These government-backed attackers often target crypto exchanges and industry leaders.
