Binance CFO Kaiser Ng Steps Down; Justin Yek Named New Finance Chief
Binance announced that CFO Kaiser Ng is stepping down after more than five years to pursue a new venture, with Justin Yek, formerly vice-president of finance at Airwallex, appointed as the new CFO. The leadership change follows a recent $6.3 billion cryptocurrency theft from Binance, attributed by the FBI to a North Korean hacking group, which Pyongyang denies. Binance reported the breach began in October through malware and targeted employee computers and has pledged full reimbursement to affected customers.
