North Korea Blamed for Record $6.36B Binance Crypto Theft

U.S. blockchain analysis firm TRM Labs and the FBI have formally attributed the theft of approximately $6.36 billion in cryptocurrency from exchange Binance to North Korean hackers, calling it the world's largest digital heist. Yonhap reports the FBI said Saturday that North Korea was responsible for the theft of more than $6 billion, while President Donald Trump said Washington is verifying the alleged involvement. Binance said it would resume withdrawals in phases after covering 95 percent of the stolen tokens, according to the Korea Times. Analysts quoted by the Korea Times say North Korea has every incentive to keep stealing crypto to bankroll Pyongyang's military ambitions. North Korea has not publicly responded to the accusations, but on Monday denounced South Korea-U.S. joint military drills and vowed to bolster its nuclear deterrent, the Korea Times reports.
