币安刚刚发布了初步调查报告，梳理了他们是如何被朝鲜黑客，盗取了 60 多亿美金。

某位币安软件工程师，在求职网站上挂着简历，结果一位自称项目总监的人，主动联系他，说有个潜在岗位想聊聊。

对方安排了一位 HR 跟他视频面试，真人露脸。为了让他放下戒心，这位 HR 还把自己的社交账号发给了他，上面有他本人的生活照和视频，看着就像真实存在的人。

然后到了第二轮面试，对方换到一个常用的聊天软件上，跟一位自称是这家公司 CEO 的人聊，但其实公司是假的。

等面试快结束时，对方让他下载一份代码题，作为技术测试，结果这位币安员工，在工作电脑上下载运行了它。

这份代码，在安装环节偷偷自动执行，把电脑上一个正常的开发工具 pyenv，换成了带木马的版本，然后跟黑客的服务器连上，还会自己清理痕迹。

就连币安当时的杀毒软件，也没查出来。

从这台电脑开始，朝鲜黑客一步步渗透内部，摸进了交易所的钱包系统，一个多月后币安被盗了 60 多亿美金。

关键是现在领英上，还有一群币安在职员工的信息，这些估计都是朝鲜黑客的潜在欺诈对象。

Ten million people have watched a comedian accidentally destroy the entire TED talk industry.

He filmed the talk once at TEDxNewYork in 2014 and openly admitted he had nothing to say.

Speaking coaches charge $5,000 to teach the exact tricks he used in 6 minutes to say nothing at all.

His name is Will Stephen. He is a comedian from Late Night with Seth Meyers who was invited to give a real TED talk and used it to prove the format is a costume anyone can wear.

Every TED speaker opens with a question, tells a personal story, cites a scientist, and shows a chart. Stephen did all four in six minutes with zero content.

His entire formula fits on a napkin.

Gesture with both hands. Ask the audience a question anyone can answer. Tell a mildly embarrassing story so they say aww. Point to a stranger on a slide and call them important. Flash a chart of random numbers. Wear glasses with no lenses. The audience will think you are brilliant.

That last trick alone has probably cost the public speaking coaching industry a hundred million dollars in sessions clients should have skipped.

"If you watched me on YouTube with the sound off, you would think I was a genius."

That is Will Stephen on the TED stage, three minutes into the talk he was paid to give. He wasn't lying.

Executives pay $15,000 for a keynote coach and still open with a joke the room never laughs at. Founders rehearse their pitch for weeks and still sound like Stephen at minute four, saying "wagga wah, gabba gabba" with authority.

The talk is free on YouTube. The method is written across every TED speaker's playbook for ten years.

Stephen still writes for Seth Meyers. Almost none of the ten million viewers have stopped nodding at empty slides since.

The formula is free. The willingness to actually say something before your next keynote, pitch, or townhall is the entire edge.
