Former Binance CEO Changpeng Zhao (CZ) recently received a Google security alert signaling a potential government-backed attempt to access his account.

While Google cautions that alerts do not indicate an actual breach, the warning underscores the growing risks faced by high-profile crypto figures. CZ speculated that North Korea-linked Lazarus Group could be behind the attempt.

Crypto analyst Neel Kukreti noted, “It’s not always a real hack, but better safe than sorry. These alerts don’t appear for nothing.” The incident highlights how even experienced crypto executives remain vulnerable to sophisticated cyber threats.
