N. Korea blamed for record $6.36B Binance crypto theft

U.S. blockchain analysis firm TRM Labs and the FBI have formally blamed North Korean hackers for stealing approximately $6.36 billion from Binance, the world's largest cryptocurrency exchange, in what analysts call the biggest crypto hack ever, Yonhap and Korea Times report. The theft dwarfs South Korea's monthly exports of $115.3 billion in October, though the documents do not compare it to annual export figures. Binance said it recovered 95 percent of the stolen tokens and would resume withdrawals in phases, while analysts say North Korea has every incentive to keep stealing crypto to bankroll Pyongyang's military ambitions.
