North Korea Blamed for Record $6.36B Binance Crypto Theft

U.S. blockchain analysis firm TRM Labs and the FBI have attributed the theft of approximately $6.36 billion in cryptocurrency from Binance, the world's largest exchange, to North Korean hackers, according to Yonhap and Korea Times reports. The FBI formally blamed North Korea for the attack on Saturday, and analysts say Pyongyang has every incentive to keep exploiting security vulnerabilities to bankroll its military ambitions. The documents do not mention a $1.9 billion Bitcoin theft; the reported figure is $6.36 billion. Korean media coverage focuses on the record scale of the heist and North Korea's ongoing cyber theft strategy, with no separate discussion of a $1.9 billion incident.
