Kim Yo-jong Calls Binance Hack Probe 'Political Provocation'
North Korea denounced U.S. investigation findings on its alleged role in the Binance cryptocurrency theft as a "grave political provocation" that reinforces Washington's hostile policy toward Pyongyang, the Korea Times reports. Kim Yo-jong, the powerful sister of North Korean leader Kim Jong-un, made the remarks Tuesday, according to the report. The U.S. Federal Bureau of Investigation has blamed North Korean hackers for the more than $6 billion heist against Binance, the world's largest cryptocurrency exchange, KBS World reports. U.S. President Donald Trump has said Washington is verifying if North Korea was behind the hacking and that the United States would talk to North Korea if it is found to be responsible, according to Yonhap and KBS World. Kim Yo-jong's statement came as Binance customers withdrew a net $4.72 billion from the exchange since it reopened after the hack, the Korea Times reports.
