North Korea denies US claims over Binance hack

North Korea has protested U.S. claims that its hackers were behind a $6.3 billion heist at Binance, the world's largest crypto exchange, accusing Washington of conducting a political provocation. KBS World reports Pyongyang's protest, while Yonhap adds that Kim Yo-jong described the U.S. accusation as a political provocation, hinting at possible consequences. The denial comes as U.S. President Donald Trump says Washington is verifying North Korean involvement, and the FBI has said North Korea was responsible for the theft of more than $6 billion from Binance, according to Korea Times. Blockchain analysis firm TRM Labs also attributed the raid to North Korean hackers, per Korea Times. Meanwhile, Business Korea reports North Korean hackers have begun moving the stolen funds through thousands of wallets to launder assets worth approximately $6.3 billion. Korean media coverage focuses on the scale of the heist and the laundering efforts, with Korea Times noting analysts say North Korea has every incentive to keep stealing crypto to bankroll its military ambitions.
