FBI confirms North Korea behind Binance hack
The U.S. Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) has formally blamed North Korea for the theft of more than $6 billion in cryptocurrency from Binance, the world's largest cryptocurrency exchange, according to reports from Yonhap, Korea Times, and KBS World on October 31 and November 1. U.S. President Donald Trump said Washington is verifying North Korean involvement and that the U.S. would talk to North Korea if it is found to be behind the hack. Blockchain analysis firm TRM Labs earlier estimated the theft at approximately $6.36 billion, a figure echoed in Yonhap's report. Analysts cited by Korea Times note North Korea has every incentive to keep stealing crypto to bankroll Pyongyang's military ambitions.
