Trump says Binance hack probe ongoing, unsure on North Korea

US President Donald Trump said on October 30 he does not know whether North Korea was behind the record $6.3 billion (about 8.4 trillion won) hack of crypto exchange Binance, adding that he is looking into it. Yonhap and other outlets report Trump told reporters at the White House, "We don't know," when asked if suspected North Korean-linked hackers were responsible. The FBI and Secret Service have launched a joint investigation, and analysts have pointed to North Korean-linked groups as the likely culprits, with domestic firm Bonanza Factory also assessing North Korean involvement. Korean media emphasize this is the largest crypto hack ever, surpassing last year's Bybit incident, and note stolen funds are moving from stablecoins to Ethereum to avoid freezing.
