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 cryptocurrency exchange Binance, the world's largest digital heist, Yonhap and KBS World report. Binance said it recovered 95 percent of the stolen tokens and would resume withdrawals in phases, according to the Korea Times. Analysts say North Korea has every incentive to keep stealing crypto to bankroll Pyongyang's military ambitions, the Korea Times reports. Korean economic daily Hankyung noted the stolen Bitcoin exceeds Tesla's value and is three times South Korea's monthly exports, which hit a record $115.3 billion in October on strong chip sales, per Korea Times and KBS World.
