Trump Says US Still Verifying North Korea Role in Binance Hack

US President Donald Trump says Washington is still verifying whether North Korea was behind the record $6.36 billion hack of cryptocurrency exchange Binance, the largest such theft in history. Asked if a North Korea-suspected group carried out the attack, Trump said, "We don't know," adding that the matter is being looked into, according to The Hill and other outlets. This comes as US blockchain analysis firm TRM Labs has blamed North Korean hackers, saying an attacker moved approximately $6.36 billion out of Binance wallets, with Yonhap reporting the theft is estimated at $6.36 billion. Korean media are closely covering the case, with Business Korea noting a massive ripple effect across the global crypto market, and the Korea Times examining how crypto insurance works in the wake of the heist. Trump's cautious stance contrasts with the firm's attribution, reflecting ongoing uncertainty over the attack's origin.
