Trump Says US Verifying N. Korea Link to Binance Hack

U.S. President Donald Trump says Washington is verifying whether North Korea was behind the recent hacking of Binance, the world's largest crypto exchange, according to KBS World. Yonhap reports that U.S. blockchain analysis firm TRM Labs blamed North Korean hackers for the record US$6.36 billion theft, and Business Korea notes the attack has sent ripples through global and domestic crypto markets. Korean media are closely covering the fallout, with outlets like the Korea Times detailing how the heist, the biggest on record, could prompt investors to rethink risks, and how exchanges insure against such thefts. Trump's cautious stance—saying he doesn't know yet and is looking into it—is being highlighted in Korean coverage, reflecting the high stakes of the suspected state-linked cybercrime.
