North Korea blamed for $6.3B Binance hack, not $1.5B

U.S. blockchain analysis firm TRM Labs and the FBI have attributed the Binance hack to North Korea, with the stolen amount reported as approximately $6.36 billion, not $1.5 billion. The FBI formally blamed North Korea on Saturday, and President Donald Trump said the U.S. would talk to North Korea if it is found to be behind the theft. Binance said it recovered 95 percent of the stolen funds and would resume withdrawals in phases. Korean outlets report the hack as the largest in history, with ripple effects across global crypto markets.
