As details of the Binance breach spread, one post from @ashen_one summed up how crypto Twitter is reading the story: "7 BILLION DOLLAR crypto hack came from a homebrew install from someone tryna vibecode something."

The post is a joke framing. Binance's own account says the attackers got in through a fake job interview that led an employee to run malware, and other posts point to a malicious ad as the first step.

It drew about 6,500 likes on Tuesday morning, making it one of the biggest reactions to the hack as the focus shifts from the size of the theft to how ordinary the way in was.
