FBI Blames North Korea for $6.36B Binance Crypto Theft
The U.S. Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) formally blamed North Korea for the theft of more than $6 billion in cryptocurrency from Binance, the world's largest cryptocurrency exchange, on Saturday, Nov. 1, 2026, according to the Korea Times and Yonhap. Blockchain analysis firm TRM Labs first identified the attack, reporting that "an attacker moved approximately $6.36 billion out of Binance wallets," and U.S. President Donald Trump said Washington is verifying North Korean involvement. Analysts cited by the Korea Times say North Korea has every incentive to keep stealing crypto to bankroll Pyongyang's military ambitions, exposing security vulnerabilities in the digital asset industry.
