FBI Blames North Korea for $6B Binance Crypto Theft
The FBI has officially attributed the theft of over $6 billion in cryptocurrency from Binance, the world's largest exchange, to North Korea, marking the first U.S. government designation of Pyongyang for this incident. The FBI stated on Oct. 31 that North Korea was responsible for the theft of more than $6 billion (about 8 trillion won) from Binance around Oct. 29, and noted it observed the conversion of stolen assets into Ethereum. This follows an initial assessment by blockchain analysis firm TRM Labs, which reported on Oct. 30 that an attacker moved approximately $6.36 billion out of Binance wallets, blaming North Korean hackers. Yonhap reports this as a record theft, while KBS World notes Binance announced its initial investigation results Thursday. President Donald Trump said Washington is verifying North Korea's involvement in the hacking, according to KBS World.
