Seoul cautious as North Korea denies Binance hack role

North Korea has denied involvement in the $6.3 billion Binance hack, with Kim Yo-jong dismissing U.S. claims, while Washington, including the FBI and President Donald Trump, has pointed to Pyongyang's hackers. Korean media report that a North Korean hacking group is moving the stolen funds, worth about 8.4 trillion won, through 12,000 wallets, and domestic exchanges are on alert as laundering signs emerge. Seoul has not publicly confirmed the attribution, reflecting caution amid the inter-Korean standoff, though outlets like the Korea Times warn the heist threatens global security.
