Binance confirms $6.3B hack, largest crypto theft
Binance, the world's largest cryptocurrency exchange, confirmed that hackers stole approximately $6.3 billion (about 8.4 trillion won) in what is being called the largest crypto heist on record, according to the Korea Times and Yonhap. The attack reportedly occurred via an engineer's laptop that accessed service containers and submitted unauthorized withdrawal transactions. Blockchain analysis firm TRM Labs has blamed North Korean hackers, saying an attacker moved about $6.36 billion out of Binance wallets, a claim that U.S. President Donald Trump says Washington is verifying. Binance has frozen about $3 billion in assets and says all losses will be covered by its insurance fund (SAFU) and company funds, per KBS World and Business Korea. Korean media are closely covering the event, with Chosun Ilbo noting that North Korea allegedly uses such stolen funds for nuclear and missile development and weapons production for Russia. The hack has sparked concerns across the global crypto market, with analysts saying it could prompt investors to rethink risks.
